Sheffield Wednesday ready for ‘helpful’ financial boost amid ‘current chaos’ surrounding club

Sheffield Wednesday continue to be handed unwanted news but they could now receive some small financial help.

With player wages once again going unpaid, Sheffield Wednesday have a three-window transfer ban.

After the initial ban, the Owls were hit with a double embargo by the EFL in June.

Amid the ongoing chaos in Yorkshire, Sheffield Wednesday players are set to leave for free, with several stars such as Barry Bannan now out of contract.

Callum Paterson has left the club on a free transfer, and Danny Rohl’s exit is expected this summer.

It’s all looking pretty grim for fans of Wednesday at the moment, but there are a couple of, albeit small, bits of good news.

Sheffield Wednesday could net financial boost

Firstly, it was confirmed this week that teenage sensation Will Grainger has signed a deal with the Owls after receiving transfer interest from elsewhere.

Meanwhile, a small financial boost could be heading the club’s way if one deal gets over the line this summer.

Journalist Joe Crann has reported that Sutura Kakay has turned down a pro contract with the club.

While that in itself isn’t great news, Crann did add on social media that when/if a deal gets over the line, Sheffield Wednesday will receive compensation.

In terms of which club Kakay could sign for, it’s understood that Southampton are leading the race for his signature.

Sheffield Wednesday trio expected to stay at club

Kakay was one of four players to be offered his first professional deal by the Owls this year.

The others were Joe Emery, Ernie Weaver and Logan Stretch, as confirmed by Crann.

Emery’s agency have already confirmed that the player has agreed to stay with Sheffield Wednesday.

As for the other two emerging stars, they are expected to remain, but confirmation of their deals being signed is yet to emerge.
