Sheffield Wednesday faces an uphill battle against relegation in the second half of the season, sitting nine points away from safety. As the January transfer window approaches, manager Danny Rohl is undoubtedly looking to strengthen the squad to improve their chances of remaining in the Championship. 
The team currently has the lowest goal tally in the second tier, having scored only 17 goals in 24 games. Anthony Musaba leads the club’s goal-scoring charts with just four goals, while the collective output from their five strikers amounts to only seven goals.
Recognizing the need for more firepower, Rohl has acknowledged the importance of prioritizing a new striker. In response to whether Sheffield Wednesday will focus on recruiting a striker, Rohl stated, “I think we know this. We need in front some players that have maybe really the quality to finish.”
Rohl emphasizes that the team, overall, has the capability to compete with opponents, having been in the game in every match. However, he notes the crucial need for clinical finishing in both attacking and defensive areas. Recent reports suggest that club owner Dejphon Chansiri might inject funds into the club in January to secure a quality goalscorer and aid in the battle against relegation.
While names like Scott Hogan have been linked to the club, Rohl emphasizes the importance of avoiding panic-buying and making strategic decisions. The focus is on bringing in experienced players with a strong goal-scoring record, avoiding individuals past their prime or with a negative attitude. Rohl aims to navigate the challenges of the January transfer market wisely, ensuring Sheffield Wednesday doesn’t make hasty decisions that could impact their efforts to avoid relegation.
