Textor has been linked with a potential takeover at Hillsborough as pressure continues to grow on owner Dejphon Chansiri to sell the club.

Finance expert Dan Plumley told Football Insider Sheffield Wednesday are only worth around £70million, but Chansiri is understood to be looking for around £100million.

This article contains exclusive comment from Stefan Borson, a former financial adviser to Man City.

Textor is among multiple parties to have been linked with a Sheffield Wednesday takeover since leaving Crystal Palace. 

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, Borson said: “It looks like Textor’s got a few other distractions in other territories.

“But I think it’s obvious that Sheffield Wednesday is a great opportunity for somebody who wants an English club.

“It doesn’t necessarily mean that he can do it, but it makes sense that you would look at Sheffield Wednesday.”
