Sheffield Wednesday forward, Lucas Joao has handed in a transfer request according to a report from The Sun (July 16th). 

A source close to the 25-year-old revealed that the striker is wanting a move away from Hillsborough before the new season gets underway.

"He wants to move on to a new challenge. He is disappointed the club have not allowed him to talk to other teams and if there is no solution soon he will be putting in a transfer request.

"Joao believes he is being overvalued out of a move."

The report also revealed that Sheffield Wednesday have already rejected a bid for Joao, with their £8m valuation not being met by the club interested in landing his signature.

He has been with the club since 2015, and has scored 18 goals in 83 appearances in his time with the Owls.
