Callum Paterson shone for Sheffield Wednesday on Tuesday night by netting a rare pair of goals in their impressive 5-1 victory over Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup. The Owls, after a rough first half, bounced back magnificently with Ike Ugbo, Jamal Lowe, and Pol Valentin also making their mark on the scoresheet.

Looking ahead, Sheffield Wednesday faces Millwall in the Championship this weekend as Danny Rohl and head of recruitment Kevin Beadell brace themselves for a busy transfer deadline day amidst speculations surrounding player movements—including the potential departure of Paterson.

Despite rumors of Paterson’s departure, there are contrasting views on whether the Scottish international should be retained by the Owls. While his recent performance showcased his attacking prowess, there are financial considerations at play, with his contract expiring next summer.

Ultimately, the decision to keep or sell Paterson will depend on strategic planning by the club, factoring in both short-term performance and long-term financial goals.
