Maloney, who scored Scotland’s only goal as Gordon Strachan’s men registered a vital win over the Republic of Ireland in the Euro 2016 qualifiers, is out of contract in the summer at Wigan, and is in a strong bargaining position as a result.

The 31-year-old has been in top form for Wigan as well as his country, and is said to be keen on playing in the United States.
