Following rumours suggesting Lavery was Brian Laws' next loan target on the Iron-Bru.net messageboard last week, it is now belevied that he is the player the Iron boss wants to bring in to Glanford Park.
The two clubs are in negotiations and a deal could be struck in time for the Canadian born striker to play at Portsmouth on Saturday.
He has yet to score a goal in professional football and made just 3 professional appearances at the Owls before a brief loan spell at Southend last term.
