Arsenal loanee's dad has 'furious spat' with manager on pitch following complaint

The dad of Arsenal loanee Miguel Azeez exchanged some fiery words with Wigan manager Shaun Maloney following the Latics' relegation to League 1.

Azeez arrived at the DW Stadium on loan during the January transfer window but he has struggled for game time since, featuring just twice in the league and spending much of his time featuring for their Under-23 side. He was left out of the matchday squad on Saturday as Wigan's 1-1 draw away to Reading condemned the visitors to relegation before some rather unsavoury moments occurred after the full-time whistle.

According to the Mirror, Wigan boss Maloney was approached by Azeez's brother Femi, who plays for Reading, as well as his father, who voiced their frustrations regarding Miguel’s lack of game time this term. The trio were said to have had a major argument in the centre circle as the Hale End academy graduate's opportunities were discussed.
