Kieren Westwood’s time at Sheffield Wednesday has been rather difficult under the management of Jos Luhukay.
The 34-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements at Hillsborough under the Dutchman, despite being voted as one of their best players on a couple of occasions by their fans.
With their recent run of results having not been great, many have called for Westwood to make a return to the senior side, however, it appears as though he could be about to join a Championship rival for nothing in January.
Westwood made his first appearance on Monday for the developmental side, playing 45 minutes in their 2-2 draw with Crewe Alexandra, which led to many questioning why he was being used.
The Verdict:
Fans will be angry with the fact that Westwood will be allowed to leave for nothing in January and to a Yorkshire rival, should reports turn out to be correct.
However, with Sheffield Wednesday’s current financial situation and precarious position, it could be a good idea for the club to offload him as soon as possible.
Westwood was unlikely ever to break into Luhukay’s plans for the first-team, so as much as the Owls faithful may not like it, it makes sense for a switch to happen.
