Wigan have signed Bolton goalkeeper Ali Al Habsi on a season-long loan.
The 28-year-old Oman international has found regular first-team football hard to come by at the Reebok Stadium, but Latics boss Roberto Martinez believes he can challenge regular number one Chris Kirkland.
Martinez said: “We need competition in every department, and Ali will certainly do that.
“He has a terrific attitude to the game and after four years in England knows all about the Premier League.
“We are delighted to welcome him on board.”
