Some Sheffield Wednesday fans were thrilled with Lucas Joao’s new contract.
Sheffield Wednesday attacker Lucas Joao has extended his contract at Hillsborough – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter are delighted about the announcement.
The 24-year-old’s contract with the Owls was due to expire next summer, but he has now committed his future to them.
Wednesday have confirmed that the centre-forward has signed a new deal with them until 2021.
He is currently sidelined with a groin injury, but started the season in good form with an assist on the opening day.
The two-time capped Portugal international is a colossus striker that enjoyed a decent season last year for Wednesday.
He made 34 appearances across all competitions for the Yorkshire club, scoring nine goals and supplying four assists in return.
Joao will be hoping he is in for a good season when he returns from injury and becomes a key player for Jos Luhukay’s side, who are still without a win in their opening three league games and host Millwall on Wednesday night.
A selection of fans are convinced that it’s a positive bit of news to see Joao pledge his future to the club and feel he is vital moving forward.
