Sheffield Wednesday fans are concerned that Matt Penney will be leaving them at the end of the season, with his contract running down.

Penney has less than a year left on his current deal, which has put his future in sharp focus.

And his comments today did little to ease Wednesday fans’ concerns that he could leave on a free transfer.

Penney said to the Sheffield Star: “I have not really thought about it. I want to concentrate on my game. I want to keep working hard and impressing people. I’m enjoying my football. I’m just focused on football and playing games.”

The quotes have left Wednesday fans fearing the worst, as they feel Penney could leave them on a free.

Penney has played regularly for Wednesday this season, so the club are likely to want to tie him down to a new deal.

The youngster looks to be one of the most promising prospects currently at Hillsborough, and Jos Luhukay will be hoping he continues to develop at his current rate.

Penney is likely to be next in action for Wednesday when they take on West Bromwich Albion tomorrow evening at Hillsborough.
