Some Sheffield Wednesday supporters are convinced Keiren Westwood is staying at Hillsborough.

The Sun on Sunday reported this week that Westwood, whose Wednesday contract expires this summer, is edging closer to a new deal.

The goalkeeper had been linked with moves to Barnsley and Middlesbrough, albeit on Twitter.

But the Owls coach, Lee Bullen, went on to ridicule each of those suggestions via his own account.

And Westwood’s reply to Bullen’s latest tweet (a trio of crying-with-laughter emojis), followed by a separate post (in which he champions his son as a future Owls number one), appears to offer the biggest clue yet as to the Irishman’s future.

The following Sheffield Wednesday fans, certainly, believe that to be the case.

Westwood has spent the past five seasons at Sheffield Wednesday and has won the club’s player of the year award in two of those.

The Republic of Ireland international was overlooked by the previous Owls boss, Jos Luhukay, but returned to the side after Bullen was placed in interim charge.
