Wednesday to talk to Sharp

[COYG]

Sheffield Wednesday will hold talks with Scunthorpe United striker Billy Sharp in the next 48 hours.
But the Owls face tough competition to sign the 21-year-old who last week held talks with Norwich after the Canaries had an initial £2m bid accepted.

Boss Laws told BBC Radio Sheffield: "We are aware of the interest from Norwich and Wolves and Sheffield United.

"But he knows what I'm all about and there's going to come a time when he has to make a decision."

Laws added: "It's a matter of trying to do the best deal that we possibly can.

"The chairman at Scunthorpe wouldn't be allowing us to talk to Billy if he wasn't happy with what we offered several weeks ago."

Championship rivals Norwich are believed to have offered around £2m for Sharp - but add-ons could see that figure rise to the £3m mark if they are promoted to the Premiership.

Canaries manager Peter Grant has made no secret that he is after a forward as he feels his side are overly reliant on Robert Earnshaw.
