According to The Scottish Sun, Sheffield Wednesday are planning a move for Kilmarnock defender Stuart Findlay after Steve Bruce watched him in action.

The Owls are expected to be busy this summer as Bruce takes charge of his first summer window as Wednesday boss, and defensive reinforcements may be pursued.

Michael Hector will be a key target after a strong loan spell at Hillsborough, but with other clubs keen, it’s smart for Wednesday to look elsewhere too.

The Scottish Sun now report that Wednesday are plotting a move for Kilmarnock defender Stuart Findlay, with boss Bruce watching him against Hearts last week.

His trip to Scotland has been somewhat misread, as it’s noted that his visit was first thought to be in order to watch his son Alex in action for Killie, but it was actually for teammate Findlay.

The 23-year-old, formerly of Celtic, was on the Newcastle United books before heading on loan to Kilmarnock in 2017, making the move permanent last summer.

Now expected to be in the Scotland squad on a regular basis under new boss Steve Clarke, Findlay – a left-footed centre back who can also play at left back if needed – looks set for a bright future.

Wednesday now seemingly hope to bring him to Yorkshire, bolstering the defensive options, and Bruce will have surely received glowing reports from his own son about Findlay’s quality.
