As the summer transfer window winds down, the closing days will always create interesting reading for fans of the Owls, Vital Wednesday social channels and site are going to be the online place to be for all the news, views and rumours as Carlos & co look to ship out and in players.

Fulham are reported by The Sunday Sun and West London sport to be considering making a £12m bid for Owls talented forward-cum-winger Fernando Forestieri.

Forestieri, has been somewhat problematic for the Owls coaching staff, players and boss Carlos Carvalhal after a high profile spat with Sam Winnall earlier this season during, all witnessed by fans in attendance. Hence why the news spread quickly before local journalists or the club pepper in their version of events or even deny the training bust up happened. It is claimed that the Whites made an offer after learning that Forestieri has fallen out with the staff and players at Hillsborough with the West London club looking to capitalise on a reduced price tag for the former Watford star.

Wednesday under no pressure to sell due to the backing of Thai food business owner Dejphon Chansiri are thought to be holding out for a higher price. However, Forestieri`s training pitch bust-up following last season`s, refusal to play in August 2016 as he attempted to extract a better contract out of Wednesday owner Chansiri. These type of public displays of player power live long in the memory of fans and other clubs will have taken notice and marked his card.

Wednesday, could choose to cash-in on their asset and ensure Financial Fair Play isn’t an issue as many fans fear given the spending during the Chansiri era and two failed Playoff campaigns behind them.
