Sheffield Wednesday coach Lee Bullen is hopeful reported Nottingham Forest transfer target Morgan Fox will commit his long-term future to the club.
Forest, as well as Derby County, West Bromwich Albion, Huddersfield Town, Middlesbrough and Blackburn Rovers, join Forest in beind credited with an interest in the Owls left-back.
Fox is currently out of contract at Hillsborough at the end of the season, although the suspension caused by the coronavirus has cast doubt over when exactly the deal will expire.
Sabri Lamouchi currently has two left-backs in his first-team squad, with Yuri Ribeiro and January signing Gaetan Bong capable of playing in said position.
Wednesday striker Steven Fletcher, like Fox, is also out of contract at the end of the season, and Owls coach Bullen says negotiations between the pair are ongoing.
"I think both lads are really happy and their families are really happy, so we are very, very confident that something can be done," Bullen told the Sheffield Star.
"But ultimately, until something is signed, you just never know. You never know who could come out of the woodwork and offer them something that's out of this world. Talks are positive and well down the road.
"Both lads have had fantastic seasons, obviously, that's in part down to themselves, but it's also in no small part down to the football club in supporting them.
"Foxy went through a hard time and Fletch last season obviously had one or two injuries and never really got going. This season he's been fantastic, he’s overcome that injury and is coming back to full fitness."
