Sheffield Wednesday planning to 'revisit' Leeds United deal in summer transfer window
The tricky winger joined the Owls on the final day of the winter window, sealing a loan switch despite a permanent move initially appearing to be on the cards.
He has taken to life in South Yorkshire like a duck to water, becoming a key part of Danny Rohl’s side. The Colombia international delivered another impressive display at the weekend, wreaking havoc in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Bristol City.

Poveda is out of contract at Elland Road in the summer and is likely to attract interest if the Whites do indeed opt against tabling a fresh contract offer. Birmingham City were also linked with Poveda in January but it was Wednesday who got a deal over the line.
Speaking after the win over Bristol City, Rohl admitted survival would allow the club to make “very good arguments” to retain certain players.
He said: "If we do our homework and achieve our goals then we have some very good arguments to keep some players here. They trust us and we have given them some great self-confidence. If you come from some clubs where you didn't play then your self-confidence is not so high. We have brought that back. We will see."
