Shakhtar confirm Julius exit

Shakhtar Donetsk have confirmed that Julius Aghahowa is on his to Wigan.

As skysports.com exclusively revealed on Sunday, Wigan have agreed terms with the Ukrainian champions for Aghahowa.

"Aghahowa has been with us for almost seven years and it's time for him to move elsewhere," Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu confirmed.

"He wants to play in England and we decided to grant him his wish.

"He is in London right now to finalise his deal with Wigan."

The Latics have been locked in talks over the weekend and have agreed terms with the player - who is now waiting on a work-permit to seal a move.

The deal for Aghahowa would seemingly be the 'near' club record transfer which manager Paul Jewell revealed earlier this month.

He was another player who was awesome on Football manager, looking forward to watching him play.

Ps I love the way, London is the only place in England, why would he be in London to finalise a move with a north east club.

never seen him on Fm

good player for nigeria, hope he gets those goals for wigan

Damn quick player but very inconcistent - either brilliant or useless.

Could be a good buy though

Should be interesting to watch him in the Premiership, I'm surprised it took him this long to find his way here. Let's see if he can save Wigan's season

It's because, like tweedle said, he's inconsistent. Also, I think if he was starting, he'd prefer to be winning leagues with Shakhtar as opposed to fighting off relegation with Wigan.

Better than average player everytime i've seen him. The thing that does make him live long in the memory is those goal celebrations. I wonder if he still does them.
