Wigan Athletic owner Dave Whelan admits he may sell Emile Heskey in January.
Former club Liverpool, along with Tottenham, are rumoured to be waiting in the wings to sign the 30-year-old if he becomes available.
Whelan insists he does not want to lose Heskey for nothing and could sell him when the transfer window reopens in January if he fails to agree a new deal.
"Emile is out of contract in the summer, but he doesn't want to sign a new one at the moment," said Whelan.
"It could cost us two, three or four million if that goes on to next summer, so we'll have to see what January brings."
