Sheffield Wednesday’s transfer activities have slowed down this week, with only one new addition to their squad. However, the rumor mill remains active with talks of potential signings.
Recent reports suggest that Sheffield Wednesday are considering a move for Nathaniel Chalobah, who has recently been released by West Brom on a free transfer. The Owls are also focused on strengthening their attacking options, having already secured signings like Jamal Lowe and Olaf Kobacki.
While the club is keen on adding a new striker, there were recent indications that they were close to signing another winger. Reports had linked them with Scott Wright from Rangers, with speculation suggesting a possible deal within 48 hours. However, Wright was later seen traveling to the Netherlands for Rangers’ pre-season training camp, which has left some confusion among fans.
The Star has now clarified the situation, indicating that Sheffield Wednesday are not currently pursuing Wright and do not have any active plans regarding the winger.
Manager Danny Rohl currently has a range of options for wide positions, including Josh Windass, Djeidi Gassama, Anthony Musaba, Callum Paterson, Marvin Johnson, Kobacki, and Lowe. Therefore, prioritizing further investment in wide players may not be a primary focus for Rohl at this stage, with securing a quality No.9 striker being more crucial.
Sheffield Wednesday may need to make significant financial commitments to secure a proven Championship goalscorer like Ike Ugbo, who remains a top target. The competition for his signature could potentially drive up his price tag, making prudent financial management in other areas essential for the Owls.
Given Scott Wright’s mixed record, missing out on his signing may not be a significant setback for Sheffield Wednesday as they continue to pursue their main objectives in the transfer market.
