According to the Birmingham Mail Villa are tracking Wigan striker Jason Roberts.
His agent says there are a host of Premiership clubs including Blackburn, Charlton, Aston Villa and arch rivals Birmingham City looking to sign the hit man.
His agent claims that Turkish side Besiktas have had three bids turned down but that the former West Bromwich Albion striker would like to talk to them adding
‘I am aware of the interest from Birmingham but as far as we know there has been no offer. There has been a lot of talk but nothing has been done. I believe Aston Villa, Charlton and Blackburn are also keeping tabs on him.’
All sounds like an agent trying to get his player a move to me although other reports suggest Blues might be interested in swapping amule Heskey for Roberts.
Roberts, who scored 14 goals in all competitions last season, says the new contract offer from the Latics isn’t acceptable adding ‘I just want to get on with my career.’
