Wigan are closing on a double signing that gives clear indication they may be losing Lee Cattermole.
Manager Roberto Martinez moved to agree a £3.5million deal for highly-rated Rayo Vallecano midfielder Mohamed Diame and his teammate centre half Antonio Amaya.
It follows Wigan also striking an agreement with Chelsea to loan Scott Sinclair for the season but shows concern that prized asset Cattermole could leave before the window closes.
Sunderland have made two bids already while Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton are all monitoring his situation with Wigan reluctant to sell.
The England U21 midfielder, though, wants to press his claims for a place in Fabio Capello's full squad and bids of around £10million could prove successful.
French-born Diame, 22, has been watched by Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid but Wigan have moved quickly to pull off a real coup.
Amaya is a 6ft 4ins centre half and will give Martinez cover for Titus Bramble.
