United States international Antonee Robinson signed a new three-year contract with Everton on Friday but will spend the upcoming season on loan at Wigan.
Robinson, 20, came up through Everton's academy but has yet to play for the Toffees' first team.
The defender spent last season on loan with Bolton Wanderers, starting 26 games, and will return to the Championship with the Latics in 2018-19.
His new Everton contract signifies the club sees him as a player for the future, but their recent signing of Lucas Digne from Barcelona meant Robinson's playing time would have been limited at Goodison Park this season.
