Paul - A site like that relies on traffic, and people signing up to messaging services. So they need as many people as possible, and stories. If their reporter knows Ashton had an enquiry from Wigan, and that Norwich yesterday announced that they are interested in Jerome then he will put 2+2 together and make a story that Wigan have "Re-ignited" their interest, or will put in another bid, or something along those lines.

Newspapers, websites such as that etc do it all the time. Most of the time it means nothing, just something they can put on their site for people to read.

So of course Wigan are interested in him, it changes nothing.
