Mallik Wilks is on the brink of departing Sheffield Wednesday, as Rotherham United emerges as the leading contender in securing him on loan. The Millers have been actively pursuing Wilks since last week, eyeing him as a valuable addition to their squad. With the potential move, Wilks would follow in the footsteps of Reece James and Cameron Dawson, who recently made the switch from S6 to S60 under the recruitment drive led by Steve Evans.

Rotherham United has been engaged in talks with Wednesday for several weeks regarding a possible deal for the 25-year-old winger, who has struggled to establish himself at Hillsborough since his arrival from Hull City in 2022. With just five league starts to his name, Wilks looks poised to part ways with Wednesday, with Evans expressing optimism about finalizing the loan agreement soon.

Despite facing competition from other undisclosed clubs, Evans remains confident in securing Wilks and acknowledges the cooperative nature of the discussions with Sheffield Wednesday, even involving chairman Dejphon Chansiri. Following positive talks, a loan deal seems imminent, with Wilks reportedly favoring a move to Rotherham United. The final decision now rests in the hands of the clubs as they work towards a mutually beneficial outcome.
