Sheffield Wednesday striker Atdhe Nuhiu has suggested to The Times he wouldn’t wish his current situation at Hillsborough on anybody.

Nuhiu has just over six months remaining on his contract at Wednesday, and is struggling badly for game time.

The target-man has started just one game for the Owls this term, and he admits that competition for places at Wednesday is fierce.

Nuhiu is now considering his future, with the 28-year-old suggesting that it may be time for a change of club.

“I don’t wish this on anybody. It’s the first spell in my career I didn’t play at all. I went still to the national team and the manager picked me and I’m really grateful for that, it gave me confidence again.

“The [Wednesday] fans know what I can do, even if sometimes they don’t show it. We have very good forwards. In this league, probably the hardest competition is in our team, as a forward to be playing. In the end, I always find myself in somehow. That makes me still proud. What the future says, I cannot tell because my contract runs out in the summer, and if it is time for a change, it is time for a change, I don’t know.”

Nuhiu has been at Wednesday since 2013, and has made 172 appearances for the Owls to date.

The Kosovo international may yet have a chance to rescue his Wednesday career, though.

Carlos Carvalhal has recently been sacked at Wednedsay, and the Yorkshire side’s next manager may take more of a shine to the powerful forward.

Wednesday’s next match comes tomorrow against Brentford at Griffin Park, as they look to pick up their second win on the bounce.
