Mendez-Laing on the move again
Former Cardiff winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing could be on the move again amid reports he won't be kept on at Sheffield Wednesday next season.
The Owls missed out on promotion to the Championship, losing to Wycombe Wanderers in the semi-final of the League One play-offs. Sunderland eventually beat the Chairboys to book a spot in the second tier next term.
Mendez-Laing joined the Hillsborough outfit last November, having been released by Middlesbrough after half a season on Teesside. That move came after he had his contract terminated by Cardiff City for what the club described as a breach of contract – it later transpired that the 30-year-old had tested positive for cocaine in a drugs test.
And he has since struggled to really hit the levels he found during his time with the Bluebirds. He managed just 19 appearances for Darren Moore's side last season.
The Owls released their retained list earlier this week, stating that Mendez-Laing had been made an offer to stay at the Yorkshire club. However, Sunday Mirror sports editor Darren Witcoop claims he will be moved on once again this summer.
