Sheffield Wednesday could offload another forward from their wage bill by selling Fernando Forestieri to Swansea City, after reports that the Swans are interested in the Argentinian forward.

The wait for a new signing at Hillsborough continues, but Jos Luhukay is rumoured to be chasing Peterborough United defender Jack Baldwin.

Sheffield United continue their pursuit of Ipswich Town's Martyn Waghorn, but have lined up Derby County's David Nugent as an alternative if they miss out.

The Blades still haven't had their £5million bid for Waghorn rejected, but have put an £8million price tag on the striker.
