 Edman has been capped 31 times by Sweden |
Former Tottenham left-back Erik Edman says he has signed for Wigan from French club Rennes. The Sweden international has agreed a two-and-a-half year deal and will join Honduran Maynor Figueroa, who has signed for Wigan on loan.
"Getting to play in the toughest league in the world again feels awesome," Edman told the Swedish satellite channel Viasat Sport's website.
The 29-year-old played 31 games for Spurs before signing for Rennes.
Edman first came to the Premiership in 2004 from Dutch side Heerenveen after starting his career with Swedish side Helsingborgs.
His contract with Rennes was due to expire in the summer and the French club have decided to sell now rather than wait until the end of the season when he could have left on a free transfer.
"We lose a skilled, professional player and a wonderful person." Rennes spokesman Jerome Poupard told Sportbladet.
