Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Huddersfield Town, Burnley and Hull City are reportedly interested in Sheffield Wednesday defender Tom Lees.

Tom Lees is one of the best defenders in the Championship and has established himself as an important player for Sheffield Wednesday.

Signed in the summer of 2014 following his departure from Leeds United, Lees has taken his game to the next level at the Owls.

The 26-year-old is very consistent player and Wednesday fans will hope that he plays well next season as well, as the Owls will be aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship.

However, there is a chance that the former England Under-21 international may not be at Wednesday for the 2017-18 campaign.

No fewer than five clubs are reportedly interested in signing Lees from Wednesday in the summer transfer window.

According to The Daily Mail, Premier League side Burnley have expressed an interest in the former Leeds defender.

The Clarets reportedly have the Wednesday star on their list of options to replace Michael Keane, who is set to join Everton in the summer transfer window.

Premier League side Huddersfield Town are also interested in Lees, according to The Daily Mail, with the same report crediting Championship trio Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Hull City with interest in the defender.
