It’s thought that Moore is keen to try and bring down the average age of his side by injecting some youth into the team following a number of experienced signings, and Simmonds may well fit the bill.

The Star understands that the forward may well be available without a transfer fee as such despite having a year left on his current deal, and indications are that MK Dons and Oxford United are also monitoring his situation.

Wednesday have previously been able to sign contracted players for free under Moore, with George Byers and Lee Gregory two examples.

Simmonds, an England youth international at under-18 level, came through the Manchester City youth ranks alongside Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, and would no doubt jump at the chance to team up with him once again at Hillsborough.

Wednesday have already made seven new signings this summer as Darren Moore looks to build a side capable of pushing for promotion out of League One, but he’s certainly not done yet as he goes in search of more fresh faces.
