Championship rivals

Sheffield Wednesday has had a successful summer, nearing ten new signings. However, they might miss out on one potential addition, Mickaël Nadé. Reports surfaced that Nadé has become a target for the club to strengthen their defense. The 25-year-old center-back, whose contract with Saint-Étienne recently expired, is also being pursued by West Bromwich Albion. Le Progrès indicated that West Brom is ‘one step ahead’ and hopes to finalize the deal by early next week. Despite having defenders like Dominic Iorfa and Michael Ihiekwe, Wednesday could benefit from Nadé’s natural left-footedness, which adds balance to their current options. However, if West Brom succeeds in securing Nadé, it won’t matter for the Owls.
