Brendan Denies Sinclair Contract Talks

Brendan Rodgers has denied reports that the Swans are in talks over extending Scott Sinclair’s contract at the club

Reports surfaced last week that the Swans were looking to extend the contract of last season’s top scorer and the man who grabbed a Wembley hat trick to help fire the Swans into the Premier League.

But Rodgers denied those reports and told the Evening Post “I was led to believe from what I read that we were in talks with Scott over a new contract, but I don’t know where that’s come from

“Scott has 18 months left on his contract and he is a player who is highly thought of here. We talk regularly, and I have got no concerns and Scott has no worries about his contract.

“He is happy where he is both financially and emotionally and we will assess things as we go along as a club.

“Of course in the future we will look to extend Scott’s contract,” he added.

“Naturally that’s what you look to do with your best players.

“The club is now in a position financially where we can maybe look to sort out a new contract a little bit earlier than we might have done in the past.

“But that is for the future. I am comfortable with where we are at with Scott right now.

“The club have done some great work over the summer in retaining the players we wanted to keep here.@
