Danny Rohl is aware of the demanding summer awaiting him in S6, with his Owls squad urgently needing reinforcements after releasing their retained list earlier this month.
Sheffield Wednesday is parting ways with several first-team players, including Juan Delgado and George Byers, and the future of Di’Shon Bernard remains uncertain.
However, it appears the Owls have identified a few potential signings. Here is a summary of the latest transfer news for Sheffield Wednesday…
Duncan McGuire to Sheffield Wednesday latest
Sheffield Wednesday remain interested in Duncan McGuire from Orlando City, a player they targeted in January. Blackburn Rovers and several European clubs are also pursuing him.
McGuire’s contract expires at the end of this year, and Rovers are eager to resume negotiations for a summer transfer. However, McGuire has indicated that it would “take a lot” for him to reconsider a move to Lancashire.
According to Alan Nixon, Sheffield Wednesday are indeed keen on acquiring McGuire this summer, but they are seeking a permanent transfer rather than a loan deal.
Ian Poveda to Sheffield Wednesday latest
Sheffield Wednesday are eager to re-sign Ian Poveda after his impressive loan spell from Leeds United during the second half of the 2023/24 season.
Since the season ended, Poveda has been linked with Burnley, Luton Town, and Sunderland, in addition to interest from the Owls.
Former Wednesday midfielder Carlton Palmer believes that returning to Sheffield Wednesday would be the best option for the 24-year-old this summer. Palmer recently stated, “Of course, Burnley and Luton are going to be in the Championship next season, Sunderland are going to be in the Championship. I think the best fit for him is where he is, Sheffield Wednesday.”
Ike Ugbo to Sheffield Wednesday latest
Sheffield Wednesday are also keen to re-sign Ike Ugbo this summer, and the Owls may well have received a timely boost in this particular pursuit.
The Canadian’s parent cub, Troyes, were relegated from the French Ligue 2 last week, and so the prolific Ugbo could be on the move this summer with the 25-year-old unlikely to be keen on playing French third tier football next season.
James Beadle to Sheffield Wednesday latest
The Owls also want to bring Brighton goalkeeper James Beadle back on loan this summer, with Sheffield Wednesday News recently revealing that the Seagulls will definitely be loaning the 19-year-old out once again.
But Brighton recently announced the exit of manager Roberto De Zerbi. Although the club will loan Beadle out this summer, a change in manager may well delay proceedings and potentially allow other clubs to join the race for his signature.
Sheffield Wednesday January target released
Lastly, January target Scott Hogan has been released by Birmingham City, following Blues’ relegation to League One.
In four-and-a-half seasons with the club, Irishman Hogan scored 36 goals in 158 total appearances, also claiming eight assists.
There’s no indication whether or not Sheffield Wednesday remain interested in the 32-eyar-old, though.
