Sheffield Wednesday is preparing for a crucial summer ahead, and Carlton Palmer is urging the club to retain the services of Josh Windass amidst interest from Hull City and Coventry City.
The Owls are looking to build on their recent success under Danny Röhl, who led them to a remarkable relegation escape in the second tier. However, they may have to do so without Windass, who has been a standout performer for them in recent seasons.
Following a period of instability, Sheffield Wednesday is aiming for long-term stability, as evidenced by the contract extensions offered to experienced players like Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer. However, Windass’s future at the club remains uncertain, with interest from various Championship and MLS clubs.
Rumors suggest that Hull City and Coventry City are frontrunners to secure Windass’s signature, as both clubs aim to bolster their attacking options in the summer transfer window. With Windass’s contract set to expire soon, it seems likely that he will be leaving Hillsborough.
Speaking about the situation, Carlton Palmer highlighted the importance of retaining Windass’s services, emphasizing his impact on the team when fit. He suggested a contract structure that includes performance-based incentives to safeguard the club financially.
While Windass’s departure wouldn’t be surprising given his connections to Hull, Sheffield Wednesday would undoubtedly miss his talent and goal-scoring abilities. Ultimately, the decision lies in Windass’s hands as he contemplates his next move after a successful spell with the Owls.
