But the Scotland international will not be moving to the King Power Stadium after failing to agree personal terms.

Via Wigan’s Twitter feed, manager Malky Mackay said: “We accepted a bid for Shaun Maloney, but the personal terms fell through. He’s our player until the end of the season.

“Interest was from Leicester, and there’s still interest from Chicago Fire. Shaun’s our player unless a new offer comes in.”
