Sheffield Wednesday is prepping for a roster shuffle as they eye new signings ahead of the transfer deadline. While the Owls have seen success with their recent additions, they are now facing the task of offloading players to make room for incoming talent.

Rumors suggest that Michael Smith, Mallik Wilks, and Marvin Johnson could be on their way out, with reports indicating that Callum Paterson has been given the go-ahead to seek a new club. Despite his popularity among fans, the versatile player’s limited game time and high wages make him a likely departure as the club looks to revamp its squad.

Paterson, a key figure since joining in 2020, has been integral to the team’s success but has seen reduced playing time in recent seasons. While his flexibility and contributions have been valuable, his significant salary may now outweigh his utility on the pitch, especially with competition for spots increasing.

Though he played a crucial role in Sheffield Wednesday’s promotion, it appears that Paterson’s time with the club may be drawing to a close as they aim to usher in a new era under Danny Rohl. With a focus on bringing in younger, promising talents, offloading Paterson’s wages could pave the way for fresh additions to bolster the team’s prospects moving forward.
