Dean Windass has exclusively told The Transfer Tavern that Josh Windass' Sheffield Wednesday future is unlikely to be resolved until the players are paid.

The former Hull City striker revealed that the Owls squad haven't been paid for more than two months, which could prove a barrier in deciding where his son will be playing his football next season.

Josh still has 12 months remaining on his Hillsborough contract, but has been the subject to recent interest from Championship outfit Millwall, who have had two bids knocked back.

The 27-year-old was the Owls' standout player last season, scoring nine times and adding six assists – contributing to almost 40 percent of their league goals.

However, Josh's impressive numbers couldn't save Wednesday from slipping into the second-tier, which has led to serious doubts over his future.

But Windass has reiterated that despite interest from the Lions and other Championship, his son wants to remain with the club and would be happy to play in League One.

He told The Transfer Tavern:

"It's a difficult situation, because they've not been paid for two months, so I'm not sure what intentions Sheffield Wednesday have got.

"He's happy to stay there if everything gets resolved. I don't know the answer, obviously Darren Moore doesn't want to lose him, but the players have got to get paid and once that gets resolved, the situation might change."
