Wigan Athletic have signed forward Jan Mlakar on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion until the end of the 2019-20 season, subject to EFL, Premier League and FA approval.
Mlakar, 21, spent the first-half of this season with QPR in the Sky Bet Championship, having joined Brighton in January 2019.
The Slovenian – who began his senior career with Italian side Fiorentina - scored 14 goals in the 2018-19 campaign for Maribor, prompting the Seagulls to secure his services on a three-and-a-half year contract.
