Wigan Athletic are interested in a move for Fleetwood Town attacker Maleace Asamoah, according to a report by Wigan Today.
Wigan Athletic are eyeing a potential swoop for the forward this summer as they target more additions. They are preparing for another year in League One under Shaun Maloney after they finished 12th in the table last season.
Asamoah, 21, remains under contract at Fleetwood Town until June 2025 but his future is up in the air at Highbury Stadium following their relegation to League Two. They finished in the bottom four along with Cheltenham Town, Port Vale and Carlisle United.

The Latics have delved into the market to bring in Calvin Ramsay, Michael Olakigbe, Dion Rankine, Will Aimson and Tyrese Francois.
Wigan Athletic could see Asamoah as someone to bolster their attacking options.
He joined Waterford on loan earlier this year and has since been a hit with the League of Ireland outfit, scoring six goals in 17 games, as well as chipping in with four assists.
Fleetwood Town signed him in 2023 and he has since played nine times for the Cod Army.
Prior to his switch to the North West outfit last year, he had previously had spells at Reading, Tottenham Hotspur and Cheshunt down south before heading abroad in 2021.
He moved to Kalamata in Greece before joining Olympiacos Volou on loan.
Asamoah hasn’t been able to make much of an impact with Charlie Adam’s side.
However, he has been impressive with Waterford over recent times and is showing signs of promise.
Wigan Athletic may have identified as someone who has the potential to improve down the line and boost their options going forward.
Maloney’s men face Blackburn Rovers in a friendly at home this weekend.
League One rivals Leyton Orient have signed former Charlton Athletic defender Sean Clare for an undisclosed fee from Wigan Athletic.
The 27-year-old made 38 appearances last season for the Latics after joining on a free transfer from the Addicks.
Clare still had two years to run on his Wigan deal but Leyton Orient have shelled out a fee to secure his services on a three-year deal in east London.
He made 92 appearances for Charlton and featured in a number of positions after joining from Oxford United.
