Sheffield Wednesday, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Derby County are are all reportedly interested in signing this Championship hitman.

A report from the Sheffield Star suggests that a whole host of clubs are interested in signing Rotherham United striker Danny Ward, including Sheffield Wednesday, Wolves and Derby County.

The 25-year-old forward has scored nine goals in 25 Championship outings for the Millers so far this term, along with providing two assists, and his lively performances have earned him high acclaim.

The Sheffield Star also go on to report that despite many enquires being made in regards to Ward’s availability, there have not been any concrete offers as yet.

He moved to Rotherham permanently in January 2015, and has gone on to score 16 goals in 74 league appearances for his side.

He is a solid striker, with a strong work ethic, but although the likes of Wolves, Derby and Wednesday are in need of more firepower in forward areas, it is questionable as to whether Ward is of the standard that those sides require.

The Rams would arguably be the side in need of a player of Ward’s type more than the others, having scored just 24 goals in the league this term – the joint second lowest tally in the division.

And with Rotherham currently rock bottom of the table, Ward himself would surely not be adverse to a move away from the New York Stadium.
