QPR’s Jay Bothroyd was on Friday afternoon close to completing a six-month loan move to Sheffield Wednesday, although Brighton are also interested in signing the striker.

Bothroyd, who is not in Rangers manager Mark Hughes’ plans, played under Owls boss Dave Jones at Cardiff.

He was in talks with the Yorkshire club this morning and looked likely to choose a move to Hillsborough.
