Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town 'interested' in Colchester United star Kyreece Lisbie
Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town reportedly on the trail of EFL prodigy
Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town are reportedly on the trail of Colchester United winger Kyreece Lisbie.
The 22-year-old spent time in the academies of Leyton Orient, Watford and Brentford before moving into senior EFL football with Colchester last year.
He has enjoyed a bright start to life at the JobServe Community Stadium, establishing himself as one of the League Two club’s most influential figures.
Last season, Lisbie weighed in with 11 goals and six assists over the course of 45 appearances in England’s fourth tier.

His exploits do not appear to have flown under the radar, as Football League World have credited both Wednesday and Huddersfield with interest.
The former are preparing for life in League One after tumbling out of the Championship and the latter are looking to finally escape the third tier.
Lisbie has also been linked with League One-bound Oxford United, as well as Belgian outfit Zulte Waregem.
It remains to be seen whether or not a move will materialise for the wideman, who is the twin brother of Peterborough United forward Kyrell.
There has also been talk of a reunion with his brother, with Posh’s director of football Barry Fry having told Peterborough Today that he is a player of interest.
Possibility of transfer battle for Kyreece Lisbie
Over the course of the summer transfer window, a number of players will be at the centre of transfer tussles.
With a raft of clubs said to be targeting Lisbie, it appears he could be one of them. While Colchester may be reluctant to part with such a key player, a transfer battle could drive up his value and enable the U’s to pocket a healthy sum.
