According to a report from the Daily Mail, Barnsley striker Kieffer Moore is set to complete a £3 million move to fellow Championship side Wigan Athletic.

We covered reports here on The72 claiming that Wigan Athletic were preparing to make a move for Barnsley striker Kieffer Moore, with manager Paul Cook looking to bring in a new striker before the transfer window slams shut next Thursday.

Now, it has been revealed that the Latics are set to announce the signing of Moore on a permanent basis on Monday. Barnsley will receive £3 million in the deal to sell the 19-goal hotshot to Wigan and he will complete a medical with the club before the confirmation of his move. It is said that Moore will put pen to paper on a three-year contract, bringing an end to his year and a half long spell with the Tykes.

Moore played a crucial role in Barnsley’s promotion to the Championship last season, scoring 19 goals for the club in League One, earning himself a place in the PFA League One Team of the Year in the process.

He was not involved in Saturday’s surprise 1-0 win over Championship new boys and promotion candidates Fulham, with new signing Luke Thomas’ goal enough to see Daniel Stendel’s side take all three points upon their return to second-tier football.

Now, the club’s attention will turn to bringing in a replacement for Moore before the window closes. It had been claimed that Peterborough United’s Ivan Toney was on the club’s radar, but Posh have since ruled out selling the striker.
