Ipswich Town stalwart Wes Burns is reportedly a target for Sheffield Wednesday. The 31-year-old winger has been a key player for the Tractor Boys, scoring 30 goals and providing 30 assists in 164 appearances.

What's behind the interest?

Sheffield Wednesday's relegation from the Championship has prompted a rebuild, and Burns is seen as a valuable addition. His contract at Ipswich Town is set to expire, and an agreement over an extension has not been reached.

Why it matters for Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town sealed promotion from the Championship last term, and the competition for places will intensify in the Premier League. Burns will be aware that he may face a tough battle for a starting spot, and the prospect of joining Sheffield Wednesday's rebuild could be tempting.

What comes next?

Ipswich Town are currently in contract talks with Burns, but the club may face a tough battle to keep him. Other Championship clubs and teams from Major League Soccer are also believed to be interested in the Wales international.
