Great move for both Wigan and Espinoza. It's nice to see guys from MLS move to major European leagues and I think Espinoza will flourish in the EPL. Kansas City has made enough moves that they'll be ok without Espinoza. In fact I really think that KC is a preseason favorite for the 2013 MLS Cup.
Via ESPN-Wigan have completed the signing of Sporting Kansas City midfielder Roger Espinoza after he was handed a visa.
Espinoza, 26, will go straight into Roberto Martinez's squad for the FA Cup tie with Bournemouth after completing his move to the Latics and signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.
"I am just so happy to finally be here," the Honduras midfielder said. "It's taken a while to get all the paperwork done but now I can concentrate on fighting for my place and helping the team."
Espinoza starred alongside another Wigan man, defender Maynor Figueroa, during Honduras' Olympic campaign and Martinez revealed that he has little option other than to hand Espinoza his debut at the DW Stadium on Saturday.
"Usually players would have more time preparing for their debut and getting used to their new team-mates," Martinez said. "But Roger is so desperate to play as soon as he can that we hope to see him on the pitch on Saturday."
