Roberto Martinez has made former Swansea loan player Jordi Gomez his first signing as manager of Wigan.
The 24-year-old spent last season on loan with Martinez at Swansea where he bagged 12 goals in 41 appearances for The Swans.
The midfielder, who was named in the Championship PFA team of the year, put pen to paper on a three-year deal on Friday.
Martinez told the official club website: “"Jordi is a real quality player, he has a great left foot and is extremely pleasing on the eye.
"I have no doubts in my mind that he will do well in The Premier League. I think he can go all the way in the game, and playing in The Premier League is the next step in his career.
"He is a creative player with fantastic technical ability but he also knows how to look after himself on a football field. He was very popular with the supporters at Swansea and I'm sure that will be the same here.
"To be honest I was surprised we managed to get him at Swansea last season, but now that he is available, he is a player I really wanted to bring on board. He can play in several different positions and will score goals from midfield."
Martinez added: "We are a little light in numbers and I want to press ahead and bring in some more real quality into the squad. You need to have healthy competition for places and we must make sure that the players coming in are of the correct standard and mental attitude for us. Watch this space."
