Has the Championship squad gone from chasing Sheffield Wednesday key man Josh Windass? UK News

But clubs contemplating Wednesday’s off-court complications and hoping for a good deal may well be disappointed, with The Star understanding that the Owls are not looking to sell.

Windass still has a year on his current contract, although the club have a one-year option over an additional year.

Last week, The Star revealed that Millwall had launched two offers for the 27-year-old, the second of which is said to be around £ 1million. The two were quickly pushed back on Wednesday.

As reported by South London Press, the Lions have launched a loan offer for former Owls lender Benik Afobe, who they hope to bring in from Stoke City.

The news could mean Millwall’s price has been surpassed and he has moved on from his pursuit of the former Ranger man.

The Star understands that despite reports suggesting that a £ 5million prize was slapped on Windass’ head, no specific price was offered to interested clubs, although a substantial bid would be required to test the Wednesday determination.

Birmingham City inquired until Wednesday about his availability earlier this month, but the Owls also gave him little attention.

Millwall finished in 11th place in the championship last season and will be hoping to add goals to his squad to get into the playoffs. Jed Wallace was their top scorer with 11 goals, with Scott Malone and Mason Bennett being five.
