They are linked with both
| . | |
| Dave Beasant | Spurs reserve keeper, signed as cover during a period of injury for two months in 2001-02, was also at Wigan a year after leaving the Lane, playing one game for the Latics in the Leyland DAF Trophy in 2002. |
| . | |
| Mark Bowen | Welsh defender, who played 20 games for Spurs before moving to Norwich City and ended his career with a spell playing seven games at the JJB stadium in 1999, including the first staged at that stadium. |
| . | |
| Michael Brown | Combative midfielder, who joined Spurs from Sheffield United in January 2004 and did a good job adding some bite to the Spurs side of the time, but left to join Fulham in 2006, before moving on to Wigan in July 2007. |
| . | |
| Nathan Byrne | Spurs youngster who developed at the club as a flying right back, but could not break into the first team. Went out on a number of loans before signing for Swindon Town, then moved to Wolves before Wigan bought him in 2016. Made 134 appearances in a four year stay before leaving for Derby County in 2020 as cash-strapped Wigan sold off their assets. |
| . | |
| Pascal Chimbonda | Signed from French club Bastia, full back Chimbonda stayed at Wigan Athletic for one season, scoring twice in 37 appearances and left under a cloud after handing his transfer request in soon after leaving the Highbury pitch on the last day of the 2005-06 season. Joined Spurs in that summer after protracted negotiations and has settled into the Tottenham side. |
| . | |
| Shaquile Coulthirst | Striker Shaquile Coulthirst was a Spurs youth product, who made one substitute appearance for the first team. Went out on a number of loans, one of which was at Wigan from August to November 2015, when he made two appearances. Left Tottenham to join Peterborough United and later played for Barnet and Boreham Wood. |
| . | |
| Erik Edman | Signed from Heerenveen in Holland in the summer of 2007, Edman was a quick, hard tackling full back, with an adventurous nature. Scored a stunning 40 yard goal at Anfield, but left after just a year, when he joined Rennes in France. Brought back to England by Wigan in 2008, Erik suffered a serious knee injury in his first few games and took a year to come back to playing. |
| . | |
| Colin Lee | Signed in 1977 as a striker, Lee was at Spurs until 1980 and joined the Lancashire club as a coach for a couple of months in December 2001-January 2002. |
| . | |
| Mido | Widely travelled Egyptian forward Mido signed from AS Roma on an 18 month loan deal in January 2005. Impressing Martin Jol, he signed permanently in August 2006, but after a total of 63 appearances and 20 goals, he was sold a year later to Middlesbrough. January 2009 saw him move to Wigan Athletic on loan for six months scoring twice in 20 games. Continued to go out on loan before a move to his last club Barnsley. |
| . | |
| Wilson Palacios | Signed from Olympia in Honduras for £550,000, the midfielder was snapped up by Spurs after less than a year in the country and cost a whopping £12,000,000. |
| . | |
| Gareth Whalley | Trialist at Spurs, he played a couple of pre-season games, but was not signed permanently, but did get a contract with the Lactics after that. |
| . | |
| Reto Ziegler | Swiss international who spent a spell on loan at Wigan from Spurs from January 2006 to the end of the season. |
