Sheffield Wednesday target new Premier League talent, ‘talks’ underway despite major stumbling block

Sheffield Wednesday are in talks with yet another loanee from a Premier League giant, but any likelihood of arrivals for the Owls could be hindered by Dejphon Chansiri.

Transfer deadline day is underway for Championship clubs, and many clubs, including Sheffield Wednesday, are poised to make additions to their squad.

Unfortunately from the Owls’ perspective, Sheffield Wednesday currently face restrictions that prohibit them from adding to their squad.

As reported by The Star, the EFL are awaiting ‘requisite assurances that the club can sustain their financial commitments going forward’ by problematic owner Dejphon Chansiri.

Nonetheless, Sheffield Wednesday are still rooting for the problems to be resolved as shown by their interest in Harry Amass from Man United.

In addition to the Red Devils defender, Sheffield Wednesday have also held talks with Man City over one exciting forward ahead of the summer transfer window slamming shut.

Sheffield Wednesday hold talks with Manchester City over a potential loan deal for Jaden Heskey

It has been revealed, via Pete O’Rourke on X, that Sheffield Wednesday are keen on Jaden Heskey from Man City.

Sheffield Wednesday ‘are in talks’ to sign the 19-year-old on loan, with Man City keen to see the youngster deliver in senior football.

The City gem has captained the U21 team so far this season, where he has predominantly played in attacking midfield. Heskey also has experience as a striker, which would benefit Henrik Pedersen significantly due to the necessity of extra depth in his side.

Such a deal rests on Sheffield Wednesday’s ability to sign players, which as things stand, mean that the Owls would not be able to sign Heskey until it is rectified.

Henrik Pedersen will be praying that Sheffield Wednesday sanctions get relaxed

Because of the current restrictions placed on Sheffield Wednesday, a deal to sign Jaden Heskey is impossible for the time being.

Due to the fact that Sheffield Wednesday are holding talks with clubs over loan deals, however, suggests that the club have some confidence that it can be rectified in time.

If Sheffield Wednesday are unable to overcome their current troubles, it could prove to be an even more difficult season than Henrik Pedersen initially expected it to be.

The lack of squad depth is very alarming at the club, and if last-minute loan deals cannot be completed, it will mean that Dejphon Chansiri has given his coach an insurmountable job this season.
