Wigan Warriors’ Kai Pearce-Paul reportedly in for sensational swap deal

[josie andrews]

Wigan Warriors star Kai Pearce-Paul has already teamed up with major agent Sam Ayoub as five clubs reportedly circle the teenager.

Pearce-Paul has been in fine form for Wigan in the past two seasons and has alerted the southern hemisphere which has prompted a number of NRL clubs to keep tabs on him.

However, the Daily Telegraph has reported that Pearce-Paul is locked in talks with Newcastle Knights as the NRL side looks to bring the Wigan powerhouse to Australia a year earlier than first thought.

The Knights are reportedly set to sign the Warriors man for 2024 and beyond, but want him now and have begun negotiations to do just that.

And, the Daily Telegraph has reported that Ayoub – often hailed as the world’s most powerful agent – linked up with Peace-Paul’s manager, Iestyn Harris, in order to handle negotiations with NRL sides.

After bursting onto the scene with the London Broncos, Peace-Paul impressed enough to be given a long-term deal by Wigan Warriors.

Debuting in 2021, the rangy back-rower or centre looked comfortable at the highest level with a wicked offload and a physicality that makes him difficult to tackle.

His form in 2022 so far has been even more impressive and Pearce-Paul was rewarded with a spot in Shaun Wane’s 30-man England squad.

And, now highly-respected journalist Barry Toohey believes the Wigan man could be involved in a swap deal, though a move could come early.

Toohey tweeted: “Still 24 (2024) at this stage but I’ll be surprised if Wigan don’t do a deal with the Knights to release Pearce-Paul early.”

And, Toohey even believed that a swap deal or transfer fee could be imminent, tweeting: “One or the other both possible.”

Harris has gone from being a credit to SL as a coach to being part of the problem.

I think it was inevitable he’d go just hope Wigan come out of it with the best deal possible

Any swap other than young would be stupid in my eyes

No point keeping him if his head has been turned

We will have to offload one off the quota if a swap is involved all spota are taken.
