The publication is reporting that the wide player was considered too expensive for them earlier in the window, but that – as the season draws closer – they feel a deal may be possible as he considers his options for the 2021/22 campaign.
Mowbray is a manager that Reach knows well, of course, with the Rovers boss having given him his goal-scoring Boro debut at the age of 18 almost a decade ago – and he played 23 games in total under Mowbray before he left his role in Teesside in 2013.
As things stand, Joost van Aken (Zulte Waragem) and Jordan Rhodes (Huddersfield Town) are the only departing Wednesday players to have new clubs confirmed.
