Paatelainen: Scunthorpe switch up to Sammon

15 January 2011 20:30
Kilmarnock manager Mixu Paatelainen has revealed the club have agreed a fee with Scunthorpe for top scorer Conor Sammon and that the decision is now in the hands of the player. The striker opened the scoring in the Rugby Park club's 1-1 home draw with St Johnstone in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League. Paatelainen said: "There's been contact from Scunthorpe and it's more or less agreed by the clubs - it's down to Conor whether anything happens. "At this moment in time we don't know whether he goes or not. I haven't been in touch with our chairman. I'll have a private chat with Conor and, if he asks my opinion, I'll talk to him. "If he goes, he would be a massive loss, as somebody who's scored 16 goals in half a season is a great tally."
