Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City 'interested' in Wrexham's ex-Barnsley star Davis Keillor-Dunn
Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City are reportedly eyeing a former Barnsley star
Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester City are reportedly interested in signing former Barnsley star Davis Keillor-Dunn from Wrexham.
The 28-year-old was on the books of Barnsley until February this year, when he was lured from Oakwell by Wrexham.
He had been a talismanic figure for the Reds, scoring 35 goals in 78 appearances, but has found opportunities limited in the Championship. The versatile forward was afforded just six league outings for the Red Dragons as they made an unsuccessful push for a play-off place.

It appears a return to League One could now be on the cards, with The Star having suggested Wednesday and Leicester are on his trail.
An exit for Keillor-Dunn is thought to be likely and he would arguably be a huge coup for the Owls or the Foxes, both of whom were relegated from the second tier last term.
He notched 13 goals in 24 league outings for Barnsley last season before the offer from Wrexham was slid across the table.
Davis Keillor-Dunn’s Barnsley exit
Speaking about his move to Wrexham earlier this year, Keillor-Dunn said: “I’ll be totally honest, there has always been a little bit of interest [from Wrexham].
“I’ve always heard of it, each window that’s passed. I’ve always thought ‘come on, let’s get it done this one’. This January window was probably the one I was thinking ‘right, this is really close’.
“I was getting to an age where I was thinking ‘I’ve got to go now, I’ve literally got to’. For a week, two weeks, there were loads of conversations. I was getting stuff back from my agent and I was like ‘look, if there’s one club you want to be at at the minute, it’s here, isn’t it?’. We were pushing and it got done.
“It all ended brilliantly at my previous club Barnsley. It really did. Saturday, I obviously scored two, the club won, three points, and I think a lot of the fans were really happy to see me move on and get my opportunity in the Championship. It was really good.”
