Sheffield Wednesday have commenced contract talks with striker Callum Paterson, as reported by Joe Crann of The Star on Twitter. 

The journalist's tweet also states that The Owls rejected Championship interest in the forward this summer. 

Paterson, who has nine goals and five assists in 50 appearances for Wednesday since his arrival in September of last year, joined from Cardiff City.

Featuring over 100 times for the South Walian club, Paterson finished his spell with The Bluebirds with 21 goals and eights assists to his name. 

Paterson's time with Cardiff was his first venture outside of Scottish football at a senior level, after joining the Championship club from Hearts. 

After impressing at youth-level with the Scottish club, the forward made his league and European debut aged 17, with the latter coming in a game against Liverpool. 

Proceeding to feature consistently for five seasons with Hearts, Paterson made the move to Wales in 2017. 

The striker has also represented Scotland 17 times since his 2016 debut, but he is yet to score his first goal for the national side.
