KENWYNE Jones's former club hope any money they receive if the wantaway Saints striker is sold on will help them unearth the next big football talent to come out of Trinidad and Tobago.
Jones's former club, Trinidadian outfit W Connection, are in line for a windfall if the 22 year-old is trnasferred.
That's because a substantial sell-on clause was inserted in Jones's contract when he was snapped up for £100,000 from the Trinidadian outfit as a raw 19 year-old in 2004 by then St Mary's boss Paul Sturrock.
With Saints currently considering one offer for Jones, who handed in a transfer request last week and then refused to play against Stoke on Saturday, George Burley has confirmed that the front-man could leave before the transfer window closes at midnight on Friday.
And any deal would see W Connection receive a cut of the fee.
For W Connection that money will help them sustain the life-blood of the club that is their academy and, they also hope, will help them produce the next Kenwyne Jones.
