An article that was recently published by Yorkshire Live has shared some comments that Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Barry Bannan recently made about his Owls teammate Steven Fletcher.
Fletcher, who has scored more than twice as many goals as any other Owls player in the Championship during the 2019/20 campaign, is currently set to become a free agent at the end of June and as per Yorkshire Live, while the attacker is said to be “open to staying at Hillsborough”, he and Wednesday are yet to come to an agreement on a contract extension.

This article explains that the club have got until 23rd June to reach an agreement with Fletcher to extend his deal for the remainder of the 2019/20 campaign, with seven of the Owls’ remaining nine games set to take place after the current expiry date of Fletcher’s contract.
Owls midfielder Bannan has been full of praise for his teammate Fletcher lately, telling Yorkshire Live that the attacker is “massive for the club”, before going on to claim that the 33-year-old attacker “seems to be the fittest he has been” at present. The Scottish midfielder goes on to praise the importance of his compatriot’s experience for the Owls off the pitch, as well as his impact on the pitch, as per Yorkshire Live.

TIF Thoughts…
Considering how important he has been on the pitch for the club this season, Bannan’s comments praising his teammate may not come as a big surprise. He and the rest of his teammates will likely be hoping that Fletcher and the club can come to an agreement on a contract extension for the remainder of the season, considering how important he is said to have been for the club both on and off the pitch this term.
