Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan confirms that Liverpool are due to hold talks with manager Roberto Martinez.

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has confirmed that Liverpool are due to hold talks with manager Roberto Martinez.

The Reds are currently looking for a new boss following the sacking of Kenny Dalglish on Wednesday.

"When they phoned me, I was actually with Roberto and having a meeting about what to do next season," Whelan told Sky Sports News.

"I have always said that when a big club comes he will have permission to talk to them - and Liverpool, they don't come any bigger than Liverpool.

"When Liverpool sacked Kenny, I thought that Liverpool would be knocking on the door and sure enough they are. I gave him permission and he will be talking to them soon. I don't know when, but it will be quite soon."

The Merseysiders have said that they intend to contact a number of other candidates over the vacancy.
