Coventry to test Owls resolve with defender bid

Coventry City are preparing a deadline bid for highly-rated Sheffield Wednesday defender Richard Wood.

The Sheffield Star suggests that the Sky Blues will look to do a deal before the deadline and that Birmingham City and Crystal Palace are also keen.

Wednesday see 23-year-old Wood as one of their key men but with a takeover of the club yet to be resolved, they may be swayed by a big-money offer.
