KEVIN DAVIES is closing in on a return home to Sheffield — with the old enemy Wednesday.
The Owls are in pole position to land the veteran former Bolton striker, who grew up an avid Sheffield United fan.
But Davies looks set for a move to Hillsborough and a reunion with Dave Jones, who was his boss at Southampton.
Wednesday chief Jones has made Davies, 36, a top target — and his friendship with the former England international is set to seal a deal.
The hitman is also being tracked by Sunderland, Hull, Blackpool and Wolves.
But he believes a switch to the Owls would give him the best chance of first-team football.
Meanwhile, Owls chairman Milan Mandaric has said he will sell the club to the right person.
He has already met a group of Chinese and American businessmen over a takeover but said no deal is imminent.
