Sheffield Wednesday emerge as rival to Bristol Rovers for Newcastle United starlet

Sheffield Wednesday are interested in signing former Bristol Rovers loanee Elliot Anderson although, like the Gas, they will need to wait and see if Newcastle United want to keep the promising teenager for next season.

Yorkshire Live report that Anderson came close to joining the Owls in January only for injuries and suspensions to end their immediate interest, with the 19-year-old then joining Rovers on deadline day and enjoying a highly profitable second half of 2021/22.

Anderson was integral to the Gas' promotion drive up League Two, scoring seven - including the crucial seventh against Scunthorpe United - and assisting a further six goals as Joey Barton's side finished in the final automatic promotion spot on the last day of the season. Anderson was also named League Two Player and Young Player of the Month for April.
