The loan transfer of Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Tyreeq Bakinson to League One side Charlton Athletic is progressing swiftly, according to information obtained by The Star. It is reported that the two clubs have reached a preliminary agreement, and multiple sources suggest that the 25-year-old is set to undergo a medical in the capital today to finalize the remaining details of the deal. Sheffield Wednesday aims to create space in their squad, while Charlton is actively seeking to reinforce their midfield options.
Bakinson, who has made a positive impact coming off the bench in recent weeks, has received praise from manager Danny Röhl. With 10 appearances for Sheffield Wednesday this season, the former Bristol City player is expected to move on as part of the club’s efforts to revitalize the squad and enhance their chances of survival.
The anticipated agreement is likely to be a loan arrangement until the end of the season, with Bakinson joining Charlton, currently positioned 14th in the League One table. This move provides the midfielder an opportunity to secure regular playing time at a level where he has previously excelled. Additionally, Bakinson is set to become a free agent at the end of the season.
Reports indicate that Bakinson attracted interest from various clubs leading up to the January transfer window, with talks reportedly at an advanced stage with Belgian side Standard Liege last week.
If the deal materializes, Sheffield Wednesday will experience a temporary reduction in midfield options, especially with George Byers serving a suspension, and both Will Vaulks and Jeff Hendrick sidelined due to injuries. Momo Diaby has recently returned from a long-term foot injury, while Liam Palmer has performed well in a midfield role in recent appearances.
Sheffield Wednesday’s manager, Danny Röhl, has expressed his desire to strengthen the squad early in the transfer window, exploring various markets, including his native Germany, for potential opportunities. The club is reportedly actively working on potential deals to reinforce the squad further.
