The Trinidad & Tobago striker moves for a club record \u00c2\u00a31.5m with add-ons which could potentially rise to \u00c2\u00a32m. <\/p>\n
Scotland joined the club from St Johnstone two years ago for just \u00c2\u00a325k, as his contract was due to expire a few months later. <\/p>\n
At 30, his chances of Premier League football were dwindling, and with his contract expiring next summer at the Liberty Stadium, it was time for him to be sold. <\/p>\n
The former Dundee United frontman still has to be granted international clearance and a visa, but that’s merely a formality. <\/p>\n
Planet Swans would like to wish Jason the very best for the rest of his career. <\/p>\n
Delighted with the capture of Scotland, former Swans boss Roberto Martinez praised the frontman as a ‘natural goalscorer’ and has no doubts that he can make the step up to the Premiership. <\/p>\n
“Jason is a natural goalscorer, I can’t really put it any other way. Every manager wants a player who has that clinical ability to make something happen in the box, and Jason can do that,” Martinez told the Latics’ official site. <\/p>\n
“He is strong, very physical, and his feet can produce the magic ingredient every team needs in the box. This was always going to be a key signing for me. <\/p>\n
“I have every faith he can make the step up to the Premier League and become a real cult hero at the Latics.<\/p>\n
“I know from experience how the Wigan fans love a goalscorer. Graeme Jones, Andy Liddell, Nathan Ellington, Jason Roberts. I am confident Jason can be the next name on that list.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
