Mailsport reports that Sheffield Wednesday has expressed interest in acquiring Rangers winger Scott Wright. The 26-year-old, who has one year remaining on his current contract, has caught the attention of Wednesday’s manager, Danny Rohl, who is eager to bring him to the Championship club. Wright, a former Aberdeen player, joined Rangers in 2021 and featured in the Europa League Final against Eintracht Frankfurt. However, he has struggled to secure a regular spot under manager Philippe Clement, who is planning significant changes to the squad this summer. With five new signings already in place and more expected, Wright’s future at Ibrox is uncertain, making him available for transfer. Sheffield Wednesday is hopeful of finalizing a deal for Wright before the new season begins.
Manager Philippe Clement discussed his transfer strategy and the broader vision for the team, emphasizing the need for a balanced squad. He noted the departure of five players at the end of their contracts without generating any transfer revenue, highlighting the importance of integrating young talents alongside experienced players. Clement is optimistic about the new signings and their potential to contribute immediately and in the coming years. Reflecting on the upcoming pre-season, he acknowledged the challenges of integrating new players and instilling the team’s principles. Clement expressed his excitement about the new cycle, despite the large squad size, and emphasized the collective motivation of the players and staff to perform well from the start of the season. He underscored the importance of having a strong squad ready for the demanding schedule of nine top games in the first four weeks.
