Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is coy over interest in Aston Villa striker Emile Heskey.
Heskey has been linked with a return to the DW, but Martinez told the Wigan Observer: "I wouldn't speak about any player at this stage of the year because it is a waste of time.
"There is nothing you can do until January, and that is an eternity in football. People are speaking about Emile because everybody here has great memories of him. He was a true ambassador for Wigan Athletic.
"I understand why we are talking about him now, but he is an Aston Villa player and it would be very disrespectful to go any further.
"I wouldn't like other managers talking about any of my players, and I'm not going to do that either."
