Wigan sell Landzaat to Feyenoord

Landzaat is a product of Ajax's famed youth academy

Wigan have sold midfielder Denny Landzaat to Feyenoord for £1m.

The transfer ends an 18-month stay at the JJB Stadium for the Holland international, for whom Wigan paid AZ Alkmaar £2.3m in July 2006.

After returning to Holland for talks, it is expected the 31-year-old will sign a three-and-a-half-year contract.

"This will maybe surprise people but it was an offer that was interesting for him, and the gaffer agreed to let him go," assistant boss Eric Black said.

Landzaat made 54 appearances for the Latics, including 48 starts in the Premier League.

He scored five goals, three of which came this season.
