Barry Bannan is set to pledge his future to Sheffield Wednesday after agreeing a new three-and-a-half year contract with the club, Sky sources understand.

Bannan, 26, signed a one-year deal with Wednesday after arriving from Crystal Palace in the summer and has since played an integral role in the club's push towards the play-off positions.

The Scottish midfielder has recently been in talks over extending his deal with Wednesday and Sky sources understand he has now agreed a deal that will keep him at the club until 2019.

When asked about Bannan's contractual situation on Wednesday, Owls manager Carlos Carvalhal told the Sheffield Star: "I think Barry Bannan will be here with us and I am sure that will be solved soon. 

"He likes it here with us and we like him."
