Sheffield Wednesday’s striker Josh Windass will be out of contract this upcoming summer, and his next destination might be the United States.
According to The Athletic’s Tom Bogert, Windass is attracting interest from Major League Soccer, where at least two clubs are trying to secure his services. However, MLS teams are facing competition from several European sides, which already presented Windass with a “pre-contract” offer.
Bogert didn’t specify which clubs from MLS have an interest in Windass.
Windass spent the majority of his career in the lower divisions of the English football league system, playing for Accrington Stanley, Wigan Athletic, and Wednesday. He also had a stint with Rangers in the Scottish Premiership.
Windass has been a member of Sheffield Wednesday for the past five seasons and helped the club secure a promotion to Championship from League One in 2022-23. He was named EFL League One Team of the Season, scoring 11 goals and adding seven assists during the regular season. Altogether, the 30-year-old has 36 goals and 17 assists with Wednesday.
There have been reports of Wednesday wanting to keep Windass in their ranks and are willing to offer him a new contract. However, considering they are currently in the relegation zone of the Championship, their chances of keeping one of their key players appear slim.
