Everton midfielder Francisco Junior has extended his loan spell with League One club Wigan until 16 January.

The Portugal Under-21 international started his career at Benfica before moving to the Toffees in 2012.

"Cisco has been a revelation since he's arrived," Latics manager Gary Caldwell told his club's website.external-link
