Swansea's Rodgers not concerned with Sinclair contract

Swansea City boss Brendan Rodgers has played down claims that the club is currently in contract negotiations with Scott Sinclair.

It has been suggested that the Swans are close to securing the former Chelsea winger on a new deal but Rodgers has dismissed that although he did confirm that talks will be held at some stage soon.

"I was led to believe from what I read that we were in talks with Scott over a new contract, but I don't know where that's come from," Rodgers told the Evening Post.

"Scott has 18 months left on his contract and he is a player who is highly thought of here. We talk regularly, and I have got no concerns and Scott has no worries about his contract.

"He is happy where he is both financially and emotionally and we will assess things as we go along as a club.

"Of course in the future we will look to extend Scott's contract. Naturally that's what you look to do with your best players.

"The club is now in a position financially where we can maybe look to sort out a new contract a little bit earlier than we might have done in the past.

"But that is for the future. I am comfortable with where we are at with Scott right now."
