Danny Rohl has been making significant strides with Sheffield Wednesday’s transfer activities in recent weeks. Sheffield Wednesday announced their fifth signing of the summer yesterday, securing Jamal Lowe on a free transfer after his release from Bournemouth. The club has also added Yan Valery, Max Lowe, Svante Ingelsson, and Ben Hamer to their roster.

According to journalist Alan Nixon, Sheffield Wednesday is set to re-sign 19-year-old James Beadle, with a deal possibly finalized today. Beadle was clearly Rohl’s top priority after achieving the second-highest clean sheet percentage (42.1%) among goalkeepers who played more than two games in the Championship last season. He was comfortably one of Wednesday’s standout players last term, and continuing his role at Hillsborough will benefit both the club and the player.

Former Sheffield Wednesday manager Steve Bruce has been linked with a potential surprise return to the Championship this coming season. Bruce’s departure from the Owls in 2019, after a very brief stint at Hillsborough, left many fans in South Yorkshire displeased despite the decent compensation Wednesday received when he joined Newcastle United. Journalist Alan Nixon reports that Bruce is among the names being considered by Burnley as they search for Vincent Kompany’s successor. Although Bruce is not high on the list, Burnley is reportedly keen to bring in a big name following Kompany’s move to Bayern Munich.

Julen Lopetegui is set to replace David Moyes as West Ham manager, and despite uncertainties surrounding Lucas Paqueta’s future, the summer transfer window offers a chance for new signings. According to Alan Nixon, Wes Foderingham might be among West Ham’s first additions. The goalkeeper, who played for Sheffield United and will soon be a free agent, had notable performances despite a tough season. He is expected to provide reliable backup for Alphonse Areola, with Lukasz Fabianski likely departing. Though not a high-profile signing, Foderingham would add valuable depth to West Ham’s squad.

Amid preparations for the Championship’s decisive phase, Sunderland finds itself amidst a whirlwind of transfer news and speculations. The club is already scouting for a successor to Anthony Patterson in anticipation of heightened interest during the summer transfer window. Patterson, a homegrown talent, emerged as a pivotal figure during Sunderland’s League One campaign, playing a key role in their promotion via the playoffs. Maintaining his status as Sunderland’s primary goalkeeper under various managerial regimes, Patterson’s consistent performances have attracted significant attention, with reports indicating Sunderland’s valuation of £20 million for the Academy of Light graduate. However, Sunderland is now exploring alternatives and has reportedly set its sights on Wigan Athletic’s Sam Tickle.
