Former Burnley man emerges as free transfer target for Championship strugglers
Former Burnley man Nathan Redmond has emerged as a transfer target for Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday.
The 31-year-old was let go by the Clarets at the end of last season after an injury-hit spell in East Lancashire and remains without a club.
The winger joined Wednesday's city rivals Sheffield United on trial earlier this season, but the Blades opted not to offer Redmond a deal.
Former Clarets Ben Mee and Danny Ings did sign on the dotted line, however.
Now Redmond is emerging as a potential target for the Owls, according to our sister paper the Sheffield Star.

The club, who are currently in administration, have been given permission by the EFL to sign two free agents.
Former Leeds United defender Liam Cooper is reportedly due to take up one of the two spots, while Redmond could fill the other. But the likes of Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Duncan Watmore are also believed to have held talks.
Despite holding the option to extend Redmond’s contract at Turf Moor by an extra year, the Clarets opted to release the former Southampton man back in May.
It followed an injury-hit spell in East Lancashire, which saw him make just 18 appearances across two seasons with the club.
