Jason Scotland’s agent has told setanta.com that both Burnley and Wigan could emerge as serious contenders for his client.
Scotland has enjoyed a prolific two seasons in both League One and The Championship for Swansea, scoring more than 50 goals since his move south of the border.
The Trinidad and Tobago international has conceded his desire to move up to The Premier League following The Swans’ failure to make the Championship play-offs and former manager Roberto Martinez’s departure to Wigan.
Confirmation of Martinez’s long-awaited appointment as Steve Bruce’s successor is sure to ramp up speculation surrounding those he leaves behind in Wales.
“I’ve heard nothing official but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Roberto came in for Jason because he has had him before,” Scotland’s agent Mike Berry told setanta.com.
“I know that Roberto rates Jason very, very highly and thinks that he can play at the highest level so it’s a case of ‘watch this space’ really
“The other interesting one is Owen Coyle at Burnley who I know is very, very interested in Jason having had him before at St Johnstone. Once again, it’s a case of watch this space.”
