According to FLW sources, Owls manager Stuart Gray has earmarked Bus as a key signing for the Championship club and they look set to complete a deal before the transfer deadline on Monday.

The 22-year-old striker joined Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia in 2014 from CFR Cluj, and he has since gone on to make 19 appearances, scoring ten goals for the club.

The young forward has spent the majority of his career spent out on loan and is seemingly yet to settle down at one particular club.

Bus has made five appearances for the Romanian under-21 side, scoring one goal however he has not made an appearance for the Romania senior side as of yet.

Mr Chansiri completed a £30 million takeover of the Sky Bet Championship club on Thursday, thus meaning there is a transfer funds available for Stuart Gray.

Former owner Milan Mandaric sold 100% of the shareholding in the club to Thai businessman Mr Dejphon Chansiri.

Chansiri spoke of his delight to the club’s official site, saying: “I am very excited at the prospect of taking over control from Milan. I believe this club has huge potential and I can assure all our supporters that I will be working extremely hard to bring the success that I already sense from my short time in your city our supporters so desperately crave.”

He added: “My son Att, who was a mascot at the recent Blackpool game, is passionate about football and I know will be my inspiration in this project. I have made the same promise to him as I do our supporters, he will not let me forget this until we are back in the Premier League.”

“Milan has been a wonderful owner of the club, taking over at a very difficult time and guiding it out of League One and handing it over with much still to play for this season in the Championship. I am pleased he has agreed to remain a supporter of the club, I am sure with his football knowledge and business expertise he will be of invaluable help to me.”

Sheffield Wednesday currently sit in ninth position in the Sky Bet Championship, having accumulated 38 points from 27 league games, in what has been a relatively good season thus far for the Owls.
