According to reports in the print edition of The Sun (via journalist Alan Nixon), Sheffield Wednesday man Fernando Forestieri is a target for Sheffield United.

The Blades have won promotion to the Premier League and Chris Wilder wants to strengthen his options. Forestieri is one of his targets.

Forestieri could cost Sheffield United up to £14m, which would be a sizeable chunk of their summer budget.

The 29-year-old has been at Sheffield Wednesday since his 2015 switch from Watford. This season, he has scored six goals in 27 games, taking his total tally to 38 goals in four seasons.

Forestieri has impressed and frustrated Owls fans in equal measure, showing glimpses of brilliance but often under-performing.

There is no questioning his ability and Wilder clearly thinks he can get the best out of Forestieri if he switches Steel City allegiance.

But this transfer story is likely to stoke emotions on both sides of the divide. And Sheffield Wednesday fans have come out in force to voice their opinions.

Here are some of the best tweets from Sheffield Wednesday fans discussing these Forestieri rumours.
