He's the Mayn: Irons set to move for Wigan's Figueroa in summer

West Ham will move to sign Wigan Athletic defender Maynor Figueroa in the summer, according to the Sunday People. The Honduras international will be a free agent in the summer when his contract runs out at the DW Stadium and is likely to be tempted by a reported £40,000 a week contract at Upton Park. The 29 year old can play at left back or centre half and has earned himself a reputation as one of the most solid defenders in the Premier League, with four years at Wigan under his belt. Figueroa will be best-known to most fans for scoring Match Of The Day's Goal Of The Season in the 2009/2010 season; a free kick from his own half in a 2-2 draw at Stoke City. There's no question that we need defensive reinforcements, and the experienced Figueroa could be right up our street- would be potentially great value, as a free transfer.
