Albion last night declined to comment on suggestions Wigan have made an approach for their manager.
But Gus Poyet’s future could become more clear this week as the Latics name their new boss.
The Seagulls chief is due back from the Caribbean, where he played for a Chelsea side who went out of the Barbados Legends in the group stages.
He declined to answer questions relating to his ongoing suspension by Albion.
Wigan chairman Dave Whelan is keeping tight-lipped about who he will be interviewing for the position left vacant by Roberto Martinez’s recent move to Everton.
He is an admirer of Poyet’s style of football but is believed to favour the appointment of a manager not currently tied to another club.
