Wednesday have had a productive start to the transfer window, securing deals for manager Danny Rohl and long-term stalwarts Liam Palmer and Barry Bannan.

Poveda knows the club well and having been afforded opportunities to play, before a season-ending injury, he will be grateful to Wednesday.

But with Luton and West Brom looking to compete towards the top of the table next season, Poveda’s mind could be swayed if the deal is right.
