Former Tottenham and Watford fullback Danny Rose is in talks with Wigan Athletic.

The 32-year-old is a free agent after leaving Watford and is willing to stay in the Championship with Latics, says The Sun.

Wigan already have two left-backs but the opportuntity to take on someone with Rose's experience is too good to refuse.

The 29-cap defender spent 14 years at Tottenham, with loans to clubs including Sunderland and Newcastle, after an early career at Leeds.

Personal terms should not be a problem as it would be a case of returning north for the Doncaster-born star.

Rose was in contact with Greek club AEK Athens but fancies staying in England.
