Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws has confirmed a deal is close for Chelsea striker Ben Sahar.

Laws said: "Ben Sahar is a player we have been talking about and he's a very talented young player.

"We're going to talk to the player before anything is done because he is young and new to the country, so probably does not know too much about Sheffield Wednesday.

"Chelsea have agreed to the move in principal, so it should go ahead if the player is happy with the move."

Sahar, who played on loan for fellow Championship club QPR earlier this season, is Israel's youngest full international after making his debut aged 17.
