The South Korean international is a free agent after leaving Wigan following their relegation to League One. He had joined the Latics earlier this year in a deal until the end of the season after leaving Cardiff.

A number of clubs from across Europe are said to be interested in the 25-year-old, but Wednesday are ready to make a bumper off to the midfielder to try and persuade him to join the South Yorkshire side.

The Owls have ambitious owners with plans for a promotion push for this coming season and have recently named Carlos Carvalhal as their new head coach.

Premier League clubs and a number of Championship sides are interested in Bo-kyung, while a number of team from France, Spain and Germany have already made contact with the South Korean.
