Kapo Deal Concluded

Last updated : 16 July 2008 By Brian Cartlidge

The 27-year-old midfielder has joined the Latics on a three-year deal for a £3.25million fee.

Kapo had been expected to move to Wigan on Monday but the deal was held up because he had an outstanding fine to pay Blues for turning up late for pre-season training.

He joins up at The JJB Stadium with former Blues boss Steve Bruce who brought the player to St Andrews last summer and he went on to make 26 appearance's for Blues and scored 5 goals.
