Speculation has been mounting that the 30 year old forward would be on his way out of the Liberty Stadium door this summer and with a bid in excess of £1 million from premiership side Burnley rejected, the resolve of the club to keep hold of the highly sought after striker will be further tested. <\/p>\n
Evaluating the Trinidad and Tobago striker at £2 million, Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins believes that Wigan will be making a firm offer for one of the most prolific strikers outside of the top flight as he told the SWEP, he said , “ We have had firm interest from Wigan. But as yet, nobody has met our valuation for Jason Scotland or any other one of our players.”<\/p>\n
"I have had numerous conversations with a variety of clubs about a variety of things. That is the case all day, every day. I have not had any written offers since Burnley came in originally for Jason, but I think you could say Wigan are looking to make one.”<\/p>\n
Fuelling rumours that the player was about to move on, the former Dundee United man will miss the pre-season training camp in Portugal. Attributing this omission from the travelling squad due to a long standing groin injury, Jenkins has played down any significance to why Scotland has not travelled with the rest of the team “Jason is injured. He is a Swansea City player and if he was fit he would be in Portugal. He has a groin problem and it's a complete coincidence that he is not on the trip. Exactly the same is true of Ferrie Bodde. If he was fit he would be with the rest of the squad."<\/p>\n
Scotland has been a pivotal player in the clubs recent success scoring over 50 goals in a 100 or so appearances for the club. However the striker has not hid his desire at taking on the best teams in the world as he outlined in a recent interview with the Trinidad and Tobago express. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
