Sheffield Wednesday have been active in the transfer market this summer, bringing in a total of 12 new additions. Despite this, they have only managed to sell one player, with the departure of Bambo Diaby being their sole cash-generating transaction so far. While Mallik Wilks was loaned out to Rotherham United, the club has been facing speculation about more potential outgoings.

Among those linked with moves away from Hillsborough, Bailey Cadamarteri is reportedly on the verge of joining Lincoln City, while Callum Paterson has been made available for transfer following an impressive performance that caught the attention of potential suitors.

Michael Smith’s future at the club has been uncertain for some time, with Derby County showing interest in January which was ultimately rebuffed by Wednesday. Despite being a target for Wrexham now, his limited playing time may suggest that the Owls’ head coach, Danny Rohl, intends to retain him.

Rohl recently provided an update on Smith’s situation, revealing that the striker trained in the morning and hinting at a positive conversation they had. With Cadamarteri likely to depart soon, Rohl may be wary of letting Smith go before the transfer deadline unless a suitable replacement is secured.

Should Smith depart, the team would be left with limited options upfront, raising concerns about the depth and quality in the striking department. While Rohl may entertain the idea of allowing Smith to leave if the player desires it, the coach may find himself in a predicament if a new striker isn’t brought in.

As the deadline approaches, Sheffield Wednesday will need to act swiftly to address their striking options before making any decisions regarding the future of Michael Smith.
