Sheffield Wednesday fans have watched on as a number of their senior players were released or sold this summer.

With wages still going unpaid, Sheffield Wednesday allowed Josh Windass and Michael Smith to terminate their contracts.

Max Lowe wants to leave the Owls as well, and a few players have been sold to ease the financial crisis at the club.

Sheffield Wednesday sold Djeidi Gassama for £2.2m to Rangers earlier in the window.

Gassama has been praised by the media following his start to life in Scotland with the Gers.

Elsewhere, Anthony Musaba has joined Samsunspor, moving to Turkey on a four-year deal.

Samsunspor are yet to get their 2025/26 season underway, but Musaba has been impressing for them in pre-season.

They recently faced off with USL Dunkerque in a friendly, coming away with the victory.

And the former Sheffield Wednesday man scored, with his goal and all-round performance seeing him come in for high praise.

According to Gazete Arena, the player ‘earned praise not only for his goal but also for his quick starts, dribbling, and competitive play throughout the match.’

They added that Samsunspor’s manager is already ‘very pleased’ with Musaba and the potential that he possesses.

Musaba joined Sheffield Wednesday from AS Monaco on a free transfer in 2023.

During his two years at the club, he made a total of 80 appearances.

In said matches, he scored 12 goals and assisted 11, primarily operating as a winger.

After the Musaba exit was confirmed, Sheffield Wednesday were slammed for the finances involved in both that deal and the transfer that took Gassama to Rangers.

The winger left Hillsborough for a fee reported to be £800,000.
