Chelsea fullback Dujon Sterling is set to depart Stamford Bridge.
Sky Sports says Wigan are in talks with Chelsea over a loan deal for young right-back Sterling.
The 19-year-old was on the verge of joining QPR last week, but the move broke down.
Another young Chelsea right-back Reece James enjoyed a successful loan spell at the Latics last season.
Wigan are also in talks with Everton over a deal for midfielder Joe Williams.
