The reports have appeared in the Press and Journal and state that the Swans sent a representative to watch Dobbie on Saturday as he scored twice in a 3-2 victory for Queen of the South over St Johnsone (see highlights here – http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/sport1\/hi\/football\/scot_div_1\/8005179.stm<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The double strike took Dobbie's total for the season to 20 and cemented his place at the top of the Scottish Division One scoring charts.<\/p>\n

The report from the Press and Journal reads "SWANSEA are to move for Queen of the South attacker Stephen Dobbie after watching him impress against St Johnstone on Sunday. <\/p>\n

"The English Championship side has been monitoring the player’s progress for a number of months and are ready to make a pre-contract offer.<\/p>\n

"Swans manager Roberto Martinez, who sampled Scottish football for a short spell at Motherwell in 2002, has already successfully dipped into the Division 1 market to sign leading scorer Jason Scotland from Saints. <\/p>\n

"Scotland has been a great success, scoring 53 goals in 102 games since moving to Wales two years ago.<\/p>\n

"The Spaniard sent a representative to watch 26-year-old Dobbie in action against Saints and he saw the former Rangers and Hibs forward produce a stunning two- goal performance in Queens’ dramatic 3-2 victory. <\/p>\n

"He currently leads the scoring charts with 20 goals for the season and with clubs alerted to his availability, Martinez is ready to make his move.<\/p>\n

"Dobbie has promised manager Gordon Chisholm he will not discuss his future with anyone until the Doonhamers are safe.<\/p>\n

"First Division Dundee’s interest in the player is well known, but it seems certain he will head south for next season."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
