Exclusive: Sheffield Wednesday forward Mallik Wilks wanted by three clubs
Sheffield Wednesday forward Mallik Wilks is a target for a number of overseas clubs on a free transfer this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
Konyaspor, Levski Sofia and Aris Limassol are among the sides weighing up a swoop for the ex-Leeds man.
Wilks, 26, who has spent this season on loan at Rotherham, is out of contract at Sheffield Wednesday this summer – and his availability as a free agent has alerted a number of clubs at home and abroad.
Turkish side Konyaspor, Bulgarian outfit Levski Sofia and Cypriot club Aris are all weighing up moves for Wilks on a free transfer.
Wilks set to leave Hillsborough on free transfer
He has played 40 times across all competitions for Rotherham in the 2024-25 campaign after joining the Millers last August.
Wilks has netted seven goals and contributed three assists in those outings with Steve Evans’ side sitting mid-table in League One.
| Appearances (Starts) | 40 (38) |
| Minutes Played | 3173 |
| Goals | 7 |
| Assists | 3 |
| Yellow Cards | 9 |
The 26-year-old has also amassed experience in the second, third and fourth tiers with the likes of Hull City, Doncaster Rovers, Wednesday and Accrington Stanley – scoring 62 goals in 275 total club games.
He can play as a central striker, on both flanks and in attacking midfield – and has filled each of those roles for loan club Rotherham this term.
Sheffield Wednesday face summer exodus
Wilks is out of contract this summer, alongside 10 members of Sheffield Wednesday‘s current first-team squad – including captain Barry Bannan.
The future of manager Danny Rohl is also under severe doubt amid interest from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig and Southampton.
Wednesday sit 14th in the Championship this term and are virtually safe from relegation to League One.
