WIGAN Athletic are planning to test Wanderers ’ resolve to keep hold of Chung-Yong Lee.

Roberto Martinez has run thorough checks on the Korean winger in the last month, and is looking to bolster his forward line after selling Victor Moses to Chelsea last week.

Owen Coyle does not want to lose the 24-year-old, who is contracted to the Reebok until 2015, and said after Friday night’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest that he did not envisage any players leaving the club before this Friday’s deadline.

“It simply hasn’t crossed my mind,” he said. “I’ve said many times that I’m trying to assemble a young, exciting team here, not dismantle one, so I don’t envisage anyone going anywhere next week.”

Wigan have been linked with Chung-Yong for some time now but there appears some doubt as to whether they have the financial muscle to make Wanderers listen.

Part of the £9million they received for Moses is reportedly owed to his former club Crystal Palace, and it would likely need an even larger fee than that to prize the winger from the Whites’ grasp.

Chung-Yong cost Wanderers £2.2m in the summer of 2009 from FC Seoul and he won the player of the year award in his first campaign before missing virtually the whole of last season with a broken leg.

Meanwhile, Coyle feels his side are starting to get to grips with life in the Championship after taking four points from their first three games.

Wanderers finished the weekend in the bottom half of the table, with Blackpool the only side to have claimed maximum points so far.

Friday night’s draw against Forest was tinged with disappointment, as the Whites had thrown away a 2-1 lead, but Coyle feels there has been steady improvement.

“As a group we have got to adjust,” he said. “I feel like we have when you look back to how we were on Saturday at Burnley, where decisions didn't help us but we know the performance wasn't good enough.

“We came out Tuesday and got a clean sheet, and again it wasn't perfect and we could have scored a few more.

“We came from behind against Nottingham Forest and football changes so quickly – if we'd seen the game out we would have been near the top of the league and talking about a job well done.”
