Sheffield Wednesday’s transfer activities are set to continue as manager Danny Röhl anticipates more additions to the squad, with one potentially arriving in the next couple of days. Despite already signing eight new players this summer, the club is far from finished as they aim to build a team capable of competing at the top end of the Championship table.
This week, young forward Charlie McNeill became the eighth signing. Additionally, The Star has reported that the club is making moves to sign midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah as a free agent following his departure from West Bromwich Albion. The Owls also continue to pursue Ike Ugbo, with national media suggesting that a ‘first bid’ has been made for the Canada international. There are several more potential deals in progress behind the scenes.
During the Owls’ pre-season training camp at St George’s Park, Röhl addressed the ongoing transfer efforts. While he refrained from discussing specific names linked to transfer reports, he hinted that a new signing could be completed in the next couple of days. “We are looking at some options in the market,” Röhl told The Star. “This position is not the easiest one, but I think in the next – not hours – but two days, we will do something. It depends a little bit on the process, the contracts, the medical check. We have always the performance tests, then only after this they can go into training. If they have all this then we can go forward but as always it is about timing. Sometimes it goes quicker, sometimes we need one day more. Then if we have something, we will announce it.”
