Swansea City manager Roberto Martinez is planning to dip into the Scottish market to strengthen his squad.
The Swans have already been linked with moves for St Johnstone striker Jason Scotland and St Mirren's John Sutton and David van Zanten.
Martinez also still has strong links with former club Motherwell.
"The Scottish market is thriving and more affordable than the English league and it's something the club should tap into," said Martinez.
Scotland is out of contract in August, but Swansea could face competition for the Trinidad & Tobago international.
Birmingham City, Southend and former club Dundee United have also been tracking the 28-year-old, who has scored 26 goals for Scottish First Division side St Johnstone this season.
Sutton is also out of contract at the end of the season and has yet to agree terms with the Scottish Premier League side.
Defender van Zanten has a year left on his contract.
