Sheffield Wednesday transfer latest: January departure, midfielder in talks to leave, Wrexham eye forward
Here is an overview of the latest transfer developments involving Sheffield Wednesday:
As the January transfer window kicks off, Sheffield Wednesday, under the guidance of manager Danny Rohl, are looking to enhance their squad to avoid relegation from the Championship. Despite a challenging start to the season, Rohl’s appointment has resulted in a turnaround, with six victories achieved since October.
In their most recent triumph against Hull City, a 3-1 win, Sheffield Wednesday climbed to 22nd place in the table with 22 points, just three points behind Huddersfield Town. Rohl aims to capitalize on the transfer window to strengthen the squad further.
**Transfer News:**
1. **John Buckley’s Departure:**
Sheffield Wednesday’s midfielder, John Buckley, initially signed on loan from Blackburn Rovers, is set to leave the club. The 24-year-old, who played 13 times for Wednesday, will return to Blackburn to recover from a shoulder injury. The Owls will terminate Buckley’s loan deal, allowing him to stay at Ewood Park for the remainder of the season.
2. **Tyreeq Bakinson’s Potential Move to Standard Liege:**
Tyreeq Bakinson, a midfielder at Sheffield Wednesday, is reportedly in advanced talks with Belgian side Standard Liege. Despite joining Wednesday in the summer of 2022 from Bristol City and making 42 appearances, Bakinson has struggled for regular game time this season. Standard Liege is eager to secure his services, with Bakinson’s recent playing time limited to a three-minute cameo against Hull City.
3. **Wrexham’s Interest in Lee Gregory:**
League Two club Wrexham is targeting a forward for their squad, and Sheffield Wednesday’s Lee Gregory is on their radar. The 35-year-old striker, in the final six months of his contract with Wednesday, has been a consistent goal-scorer for the club in previous seasons. However, with reduced playing time this season, Gregory may be available for a move. Sheffield Wednesday, looking to manage their wage bill, could consider allowing Gregory to depart this month.
These transfer developments reflect Sheffield Wednesday’s efforts to shape their squad during the January window and address specific areas to enhance their chances of survival in the Championship.
