Middlesbrough Move to Pole Position as Sheffield Wednesday’s Hopes of Signing Louie Barry Reduce
As reported, Sheffield Wednesday is hugely interested in the signing of a new striker in their team, Louie Barry, however they have been given serious competition by Middlesbrough who are leading the race to sign the 21-year-old.
Even though Sheffield Wednesday secured fourth straight win in the Championship match last weekend and climbed to the ninth place in the table, the club is still looking for a forward to bolster its attack line. However, the likelihood of signing Barry, who has been on an excellent run for the Stockport County, seems to be fading away.
Barry spent the season on loan from Aston Villa and his parent club is said to be contemplating on taking him back however the situation is in Middlesbrough’s favor now. Darren Witcoop has disclosed that Middlesbrough are currently in the frontline to have Barry on take while Sheffield Wednesday has looked for other targets.
The Owls may aim to get a young talented forward who currently plays for Liverpool, namely Jayden Danns. Technically speaking, Danns is producing excellent, possesses a fair amount of goalscoring prowess and is a hardworking footballer. That said, despite the fact that Danns has been ruled out due to injury, the player would be an ample acquisition for Sheffield Wednesday especially in front line.
Few resources will probably be available at the disposal of Dave Doyle and Neil Worthington so the Owls will see plenty loan signings in January. As the transfer window nears the Owls will be watching these events unfold keenly in hope of signing the services of a world-class striker that will help them clinch a promotion.
