Wigan Athletic have completed the signing of Brann Bergen's Paul Scharner.The Austrian centre half has inked a three-and-a-half year deal with the club that will see him move on a free transfer from South West Norway once the transfer window opens in January."Wigan is a club in a great position with a big ambition," Scharner told the club's official website."They want to be one of the best clubs in the country and that is exactly the same for me. To play in the Premiership is a dream for me because, as a player, you want to test yourself against the best. Interesting little deal their by Wigan because I have heard he is a decent player.
And finally, a bit of news from around the rest of Europe. Valencia's Italian striker Marco Di Vaio has joined French side Monaco on a six-month loan contract with the option of a permanent deal. The Italian has found himself frozen out at The Mestalla following the summer arrival of David Villa.He has made only two league starts this term and is desperate for regular action to try and boost his hopes of being named in Italy's World Cup squad. I think this is a great deal by Monaco because I believe Di Vaio is a handy little striker and I hope he does well their.
