The Fulham striker has been linked with a £12 million move to Hillsborough.
Only one Championship player managed more goals than McCormack last season
According to the Daily Mail, Sheffield Wednesday are preparing a £12 million move for Fulham striker Ross McCormack.
The 29-year-old was the Championship’s second top scorer last season – finding the net on 21 occasions – and has also been linked with Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Norwich City.
The Owls, however, are being tipped to battle the relegated trio as they look to build a promotion winning side of their own, having lost to Hull City in last month’s play-off final.

Carlos Carvalhal’s team were reported to have lodged an unsuccessful £10 million for McCormack in last summer’s transfer window, but later added Gary Hooper for less than a third of the price.
And the rumour appears to have split supporters on Twitter, with many feeling McCormack’s credentials speak for themselves, while others believe the eight-figure asking price is far too steep.

Here’s the best of the reaction… But which camp are you in?
