Watford, as well as other clubs in the Premier League and Championship, are said to have made enquiries about the possibility of trying to land the 25-year-old’s signature, but his teammate, Cameron Dawson, issued a hands-off warning of his own earlier this week.

Iorfa, the reigning Player of the Season for the Owls, has been a key performer under Monk ever since his arrival at Hillsborough, and the club would no doubt be reticent to let a player like him leave unless it was an offer that was too good to refuse.

Speaking after Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of Bristol City, SWFC’s boss insisted that he’s heard of no talk regarding an exit for the centre back, saying ‘there’s been nothing’.

When asked about interest in the defender, Monk replied, “Not that I am aware of. Dom is an important part of what we are doing here and there's been nothing.”

Now the Owls turn their focus to Queens Park Rangers this coming weekend as they seek to bounce back from the result at Ashton Gate and pick up a first win at home since beating Charlton Athletic way back in February.

Meanwhile, in terms of incomings, Wednesday are said to be close to finalising a move for Cardiff City man, Callum Paterson, for a reported figure of around £500,000.
