3 dream players Sheffield Wednesday could sign in the January transfer window

Sheffield Wednesday may seek to reinforce their team during the upcoming transfer window in a bid to secure their escape from relegation. The recent appointment of Danny Rohl in South Yorkshire has injected a sense of optimism among Owls fans, as they are now only three points away from 21st place in the Championship, moving away from the relegation zone. The German manager has revived the feel-good atmosphere at Hillsborough, with three wins in their last five matches showcasing entertaining football, including a convincing 3-1 victory over ten-man Hull City.

Despite this positive turn of form, Rohl and his team acknowledge the importance of the transfer window to further strengthen the rejuvenated squad. Here are three potential signings that Sheffield Wednesday could consider, aiming to enhance their chances of avoiding relegation, including a potential replacement for young talent Bailey Cadamarteri.

1. **James Beadle:**
Sheffield Wednesday might be in the market for an upgrade on Cameron Dawson, whose shaky performances this season, particularly in the 2-0 away defeat to Coventry City, have exposed vulnerabilities. James Beadle, a 19-year-old Brighton goalkeeper who has excelled on loan at Oxford United in League One with seven clean sheets, is rumored to be a target. Beadle’s impressive loan spells, including at Crewe Alexandra in League Two, suggest he is ready for a higher level in the EFL pyramid and could provide a valuable addition to Wednesday’s goalkeeping options.

2. **Scott Hogan:**
Instead of solely focusing on promising young talents, Rohl might opt for experience by pursuing Scott Hogan in January. This move would strengthen the attacking positions at Sheffield Wednesday and alleviate the pressure on Bailey Cadamarteri, who has been a revelation under Rohl’s guidance. Hogan, with 67 career goals in the Championship, could potentially rejuvenate his career away from St Andrew’s with Wednesday, providing a reliable goal-scoring option and valuable experience.

3. **Cauley Woodrow:**
Another striker on Wednesday’s radar could be Cauley Woodrow, with the 29-year-old looking for an escape route from Premier League side Luton Town. Woodrow, a former feared striker for Wednesday’s rivals in Barnsley, netted 13 times during the 2020/21 Championship campaign. A short-term loan deal for Woodrow could benefit both Luton and Wednesday, as Rohl aims to add a potent striker to his squad. Despite a potential lack of recent top-flight game time, Woodrow aims to recapture his best form and contribute to Sheffield Wednesday’s relegation escape narrative by the end of the season.
