Sheffield Wednesday have hit a stumbling block in their attempted pursuit of West Brom forward Kenneth Zohore due to his excessive wage demands, according to The Sun journalist Alan Nixon.

It is understood Wednesday are open to fulfilling West Brom's desire of them buying Zohore on a permanent basis, but the forward's wages are the key issue given he has recently enjoyed a pay rise following his role in the Baggies' promotion.

Zohore reportedly had a clause in his contract which meant his wages rose once West Brom sealed their top-flight return, and this is the key reason why the Owls are struggling to agree terms with the 26-year-old who netted three goals last term.

However, it is believed Wednesday are still pushing to get the deal over the line despite this financial hurdle, with Garry Monk looking to add Zohore to his attacking unit which includes the likes of Jordan Rhodes, Josh Windass and Elias Kachunga.

Nixon took to Twitter to share the update regarding Wednesday's pursuit of the attacker:

Plenty of Wednesday fans responded to this development by suggesting the club should look at other options rather than wasting their time on this deal, with some supporters believing they could find better value for money elsewhere.
