Striker Lucas Joao could be playing somewhere “bigger and better” than Sheffield Wednesday if he showed his talent every week, according to team mate Barry Bannan.

Both Bannan and Joao got on the score sheet in Monday’s 2-0 win over play-off chasing Bristol City, with the Portuguese forward’s lob taking his tally to ten league goals this season.

But Wednesdayites haven’t seen the best of 25-year-old Joao in action as Bannan says the talented front man is more consistent in training than matches.

Bannan told The Star: "It was a brilliant finish from Lucas for his goal. We see moments like that every in training. He is a very, very good player. He can do anything on his day. He is a handful.

"He put himself about on Monday and worked really hard. He was out for a little while but he put in a good shift and I am glad he got his goal.
