Fee: £4 million
Did you know?
It’s reportedly Big Sam Allardyce’s lack of linguistics that secured this deal. Ramis doesn’t speak English and was persuaded to opt for the DW Stadium by fellow Spaniard Roberto Martinez when a move to West Ham had previously looked odds-on.
What’s the deal?
Ramis has signed a four-year deal with Wigan. Chairman Dave Whelan had previously revealed that Ramis had passed a medical and was set to complete his move.
He’s a 6ft 2in defender who came through the youth ranks at Mallorca. He has established himself as a key part of the Balearic Islanders’ squad over the last couple of seasons.
What do they say?
“Ramis leaving causes us a lot damage. He was important.”
