Sheffield Wednesday faces a tense wait until Sunday before their next match against relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers, which will be played away. Danny Rohl’s team understands the importance of securing points at Ewood Park considering the remaining fixtures, and they will determine their chances of moving out of the relegation zone based on Saturday’s results from other teams.
The Championship is poised for an exciting battle at both ends of the table this season, with much yet to be decided in the second tier. Meanwhile, we’ve gathered the latest updates regarding Wednesday and their competitors.
Transfer Target for Wednesday
Former Sheffield Wednesday player Carlton Palmer suggests that the Owls should pursue a summer move for Rotherham United goalkeeper Viktor Johansson. Speaking to Football League World, Palmer stated, “He’s shown great consistency in the Championship despite Rotherham’s position, making him highly sought after.”
“Johansson would likely prefer to be a starting goalkeeper rather than a backup, so he should avoid moves where he’d be second choice. While many Premier League clubs are interested, would he be first-choice there? Probably not. Therefore, if Sheffield Wednesday maintain their Championship status, it could be a viable option for him, with Sheffield United also in contention.”
“He will have numerous clubs vying for his signature. Would he be a valuable signing for either Sheffield club? Absolutely. Whoever secures Johansson will have a top-quality goalkeeper.”
Interest in Vata
Watford is reportedly eyeing a move for Celtic’s 18-year-old talent Rocco Vata this summer, with the youngster attracting significant interest. According to reports from Citta Celeste, Serie A side Lazio is also keen on the player, who has yet to break into Celtic’s first team.
Vata’s contract is set to expire this summer, and it’s unlikely he will sign a new deal, fueling a race for his signature. Watford is now competing with Lazio for Vata, although the Hornets might find it challenging given their disappointing campaign in the Championship.
