Wolverhampton Wanderers scouts are said to have watched the Sheffield Wednesday winger.
The Sheffield Wednesday manager Jos Luhukay is not worried yet about losing Adam Reach to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Sun newspaper reported that Wolves have had Reach watched this season and are ‘ready to act’ in the January transfer window.
The winger has established himself as one of Sheffield Wednesday’s key players over the past two campaigns, in which he has scored or assisted 23 goals in 66 games, and interest is perhaps to be expected.
But with Reach under contract until 2021 at Hillsborough, Luhukay is staying calm about the 25-year-old’s future.
Speaking via the Sheffield Wednesday Facebook page on Monday, the Dutchman said: “I have not heard or read [about the Reach rumour], but I think it is not the moment [to be] afraid for that. In January the transfer window opens, but also Adam’s contract is long. So it is not so that Adam’s contract is finished in the summer.
“We know now we must have the focus for the game tomorrow [against Queens Park Rangers], and in January, or maybe the end of December, there comes maybe new speculation for when the transfer window is open.
“But now I think everyone is only with the focus to play good games and to play for themselves very well. And Adam is in fantastic form, he makes fantastic goals for us, that will be more, and I think Adam is happy and we are happy with his [contribution]. When he makes goals it is very important for us, the feeling is good so I’m not now thinking if he will maybe leave us in January. We will see what maybe then in January what is coming up to us.
On whether he expects top-flight interest in Reach, Luhukay added: “For me it is difficult to say. I want to hold onto my best players, of course, and my important players. But it is also football. The more you are in the spotlight, the more goals you make, the more assists you make as an offensive player, it’s normal that there may be interest from Premier League clubs.
“But when we have success, the player plays very well and, in this case, when Adam scores goals or gives assists, yeah, it is good for us, for the team, for Adam, and we will see what the future brings. “
Sheffield Wednesday were placed under a four-month transfer embargo earlier this year and, according to the Owls chairman, Dejphon Chansiri, failing to gain promotion this season would likely result in further financial problems next term.
Though unwanted, losing Reach would at least go some way towards helping the club remain compliant with the EFL’s Profit & Sustainability regulations.
