Windass struck the winner at Wembley last month to ensure the Owls will join the Saints in the second tier next term. The Star now claim that Southampton are ready to test the Owls' resolve with a bid for the 29-year-old this summer. Russell Martin, a former Rangers teammate of Windass, is poised to be unveiled as the South Coast club's new manager later this week. He helped them seal the second automatic spot last season from League One, before his old club Wednesday eventually sealed play-off joy to join them. The Brighton full-back has not been offered new terms by the Seagulls and is now set to join Wednesday's second tier rivals Bristol City, according to Football Insider.
