Nathaniel Mendez-Laing has already outlined Sheffield Wednesday stance amid contract situation

Will Nathaniel Mendez-Laing still be a Sheffield Wednesday player come the start of pre-season? The talented winger is among four players to have been offered fresh terms to remain at Hillsborough.

A report in The Star recently claimed a handful of Championship clubs are eyeing up a summer switch for Mendez-Laing. Wigan Athletic were strongly linked with Mendez-Laing in the January transfer window.

Mendez-Laing struggled for form and consistency last term. Snapped up on a free transfer by Darren Moore after an impressive trial spell, it took the former Cardiff City and Middlesbrough man some time to find his feet.

His best performance in an Owls shirt arguably came in the 4-2 victory over Plymouth Argyle back in January. He scored and was a constant threat in an unfamiliar wing back role.

Mendez-Laing admitted: "The gaffer was a massive factor in me coming here. How he [Moore] wants to play, the style of football, his style of attacking football. It’s been a pleasure working with him and long may it continue."

Could Mendez-Laing's strong relationship with Moore sway him into staying at the club? Quite possibly.

Moore put his faith in Mendez-Laing, providing him with a stage to get his career back on track. Mendez-Laing, primarily a winger, showed flashes of his undoubted ability at wing back and in attack.

When he was quizzed on his long-term future back in January, Mendez-Laing said: "It’s a great club, massive, changing room, manager, coaches.

"I am happy here and settled. My family seem to like it here."

The 30-year-old directly contributed to four goals from his 19 outings. He would have played more matches had he not sustained a hamstring
