Sheffield Wednesday’s quest for a star striker this summer may hit a major setback as they seek to strengthen their squad.

Despite adding nine new players to their roster, manager Danny Rohl is still eyeing reinforcements, especially in the center-back and striker positions.

Di’Shon Bernard’s contract extension shores up the defense, while the return of Josh Windass boosts the attacking options alongside newcomers like Charlie McNeill and Jamal Lowe.

Rohl is keen on acquiring top-quality players in these crucial areas, particularly upfront where Windass may not last a full season and other options lack experience.

Sheffield Wednesday’s pursuit of Duncan McGuire faces a potential setback as Orlando City is reportedly set to extend his contract by two years, possibly pushing his price out of the Owls’ range.

With McGuire likely to stay in the MLS, Sheffield Wednesday might shift their focus to Ike Ugbo or Sory Kaba for their striking needs.

As a bid for Kaba from an unnamed British club circulates in Europe, it remains to be seen who Sheffield Wednesday will ultimately sign as their marquee striker this summer.
