The Latics have lodged an offer with the Welsh club as manager Roberto Martinez looks to reunite himself with the Trinidad and Tobago international, who enjoyed a successful spell under the Spaniard at the Liberty Stadium.

Swansea have not yet accepted Wigan's offer but it seems only a matter of time before the move goes through - despite an inquiry from the Tigers.

Scotland's agent Mike Berry said: "I spoke to Brian Horton at Hull and he asked me what the bottom-line price would be for Jason. I said I thought a fee of �2million would probably be enough to get him in.

"My belief was that he'd be ideal for Hull but I expect the Wigan deal to go ahead now."

Scotland, a bargain �25,000 snip from St Johnstone, scored 53 goals for the Swans in two seasons under Martinez, who has also had to fight off interest from Premier League new boys Burnley.
