Exclusive: Sheffield Wednesday man warned about Coventry City transfer - Wrexham AFC may be a better move | OneFootball

Don Goodman has told FLW his verdict on Coventry City's interest in Josh Windass

Sky Sports pundit and EFL expert Don Goodman has warned Josh Windass that he might not be guaranteed regular game time with a switch from Sheffield Wednesday to Coventry City this summer.

According to The Star, the Sky Blues are among the clubs eyeing a potential move for the forward amid uncertainty over his future at Hillsborough.

However, they face competition from rivals such as Norwich City, Derby County and Wrexham, alongside Windass' former club Rangers.

Windass’ future is the subject of speculation amid financial issues with the Yorkshire outfit, who could be looking to raise funds through sales in order to maintain some stability behind the scenes with players having been repeatedly paid late.

Don Goodman issues Coventry warning to Windass

According to Goodman, Windass would be a guaranteed starter at a side such as Wrexham, meaning they’d make more sense over a move to the CBS Arena.

He claimed the 35-year-old would be a good addition for Frank Lampard’s side if he could be signed for nothing, which is a possibility given the current salary situation, but that the player may want to prioritise regular minutes instead.

Windass enjoyed a strong season with the Owls last time out, meaning it's little surprise that he's the subject of interest throughout the second-tier. The versatile forward struck on 13 occasions while adding a further five assists, and has no shortage of suitors keeping close tabs on his current situation.

“I think Josh Windass is at the end of his contract or is he able to get a move without a fee being involved, which would make him attractive to a whole host of clubs,” Goodman exclusively told Football League World.

“In terms of Wrexham, I can see that, he would without doubt be starting week-in and week-out I would think.

“In terms of Coventry, I’m so sure, in terms of whether he would be a starter.

“There’s a lot of talented forwards at the club that play in a similar position to him.

“So, I can see the Wrexham move a little bit more than the Coventry move, but if they get him for free, Coventry, then he would be a good addition to the squad, of course he would.”

Coventry will get their Championship season underway on 9 August with a home clash against Hull City.

Josh Windass should be prioritising game time at this stage of his career

Windass showed last season that he is still more than capable of playing regularly at Championship level. He's got bags of experience and goalscoring prowess, which are exactly what makes him such an attractive proposition at this moment in time.

Wrexham would be an exciting opportunity given their rapid rise up the English football pyramid in the last few years. Phil Parkinson already has a host of attackers at his disposal, of course, although you'd expect Windass to instantly usurp many in the pecking order and establish himself as a real star in North Wales.

Coventry will have ambitions to fight for promotion next season, and they have solid forward options already, so he may not feature as regularly, which is really what he should be prioritising at this stage of his career.
