Reports from Football Insider indicate that Coventry City and Hull City are at the forefront in the race to secure the signature of Sheffield Wednesday star Josh Windass on a free transfer this upcoming summer.
With his contract set to expire at the end of the month, Windass has yet to reach an agreement to stay with the Owls for the next season. Both Hull and Coventry are eager to strengthen their attacking options and are preparing to present the 30-year-old with offers in the near future.
Having contributed six goals and two assists in 25 games to help Wednesday maintain their Championship status, Windass has proven himself as a valuable asset since joining the club from Wigan Athletic in 2020.
The versatile forward, known for his ability to play in various attacking roles, has racked up an impressive record of 40 goals and 17 assists in 135 appearances during his time at Hillsborough.
With experience playing 129 games in the second tier and a stint with Scottish powerhouse Rangers, Windass has caught the attention of Coventry and Hull, who are eyeing up a move for him once he becomes a free agent later this month.
As he is expected to part ways with Sheffield Wednesday in the near future, both Coventry and Hull are looking to bolster their squads after narrowly missing out on securing playoff positions in the last Championship campaign.
