As reported by South London Press, the Lions have launched a loan bid for former Owls loanee Benik Afobe, who they hope to bring in from Stoke City.
The news could mean Millwall have been priced out and have moved on from their pursuit of the former Rangers man.
The Star understands that despite reports suggesting a £5m price tag has been slapped on Windass’ head, no definite price has been quoted to interested clubs, though it would take a large bid to test Wednesday’s resolve.
