Exclusive:Sheffield Wednesday eye striker with 72 League One goals to his name
Sheffield Wednesday huge summer rebuild continues to gather pace
Sheffield Wednesday are eyeing up a move for a Championship striker in the next part of their League One rebuild.
The Owls have already brought in defender Ricardo Santos from Swansea and on Saturday announced the arrival of full-back Jordi Liongola from Belgian outfit RAAL La Louvière.
The Star revealed earlier this week that talks with midfielder Callum Slattery, who is soon to leave Motherwell, are ongoing while there is also interest in Sil Swinkels, the Aston Villa defender who spent last season on loan at Chesterfield.
The top end of the pitch is also in dire need of strengthening and The Star understands that Wednesday could be making a move for Portsmouth forward Colby Bishop.
The 29-year-old has been at Pompey for four seasons and while this past campaign has been something of a struggle for the forward, he is a player of real pedigree, particularly at League One.
In the season before last, Bishop’s impressive run of form in the second half of the campaign - nine goals from January 1 until the end - steered Portsmouth away from relegation in their first year back in the second tier.
It is in league One where is has shone brightest though, hitting more than 20 goals in two successive campaigns, the second leading to Pompey’s promotion to the Championship.
All in, Bishop has 72 League One goals to his name from spells at Portsmouth and Accrington.
