Scotland Again Linked With Swans Return - Ipswich Town News

Town striker Jason Scotland is again being linked with a return to his former club Swansea. A report in Wales claims the Trinidad and Tobago international met with new Blues manager Paul Jewell yesterday to discuss the possibility of a loan move away from Portman Road.

Scotland, who was first mentioned in connection with a switch back to the Swans in late January, is yet to make a start under Jewell’s management and, according to the Welsh report, a source close to the player says he has held talks with the new Town boss about his situation: "He spoke to Paul yesterday and he told him he needs to go out on loan if he's not going to play him, and there's only one club he wants to go to – Swansea. There are other clubs chasing him, but he's not interested in them.

"It does depend on whether Ipswich can get another forward in, but Jason Scotland back at Swansea would work out for everyone concerned."

Aside from the Swans, three other Championship clubs are believed to be interested in the 32-year-old, who spent two highly successful years at the Liberty Stadium.

Prior to the transfer window closing, Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers said he could be interested in bringing Scotland back to Wales but at the time had not made an approach to the Blues, although this may well have changed.

Football League clubs are allowed to take players on 'emergency loans' from today.
