The Sunderland midfielder has scored seven goals this season, including two against Sheffield Wednesday.

Sheffield Wednesday fans are having their say on reports linking the Owls with a move for Sunderland midfielder George Honeyman.

The Sun on Sunday has credited Wednesday with interest in Honeyman in the wake of Sunderland’s relegation.

The 23-year-old has been one of the few bright sparks in a dismal campaign for the Mackems, having scored seven goals and set up two in 44 appearances.

And Owls fans require little introduction, with two of Honeyman’s goals coming against them.

But is the versatile player someone who would interest the Hillsborough faithful? Here’s what they’re saying on Twitter…

Not all Wednesdayites agree, however…

And @DAVIDCRAMP shares that sentiment, adding: “McNair be better”.

Sheffield Wednesday are not currently short in Honeyman’s position, with Adam Reach, Barry Bannan, Joey Pelupessy, Sam Hutchinson, Kieran Lee, David Jones and Almen Abdi among those under contract for at least another season at Hillsborough.

Honeyman’s deal is due to expire in June 2019, which could see him move for less than the going rate this summer.

Would the Sunderland man be a good addition for Sheffield Wednesday?
