Sheffield Wednesday signed Adam Alimi-Adetoro two years ago after he impressed them during a trial. Before moving to South Yorkshire, he played for Leixlip United and Athlone Town. Over the past couple of seasons, he has been a key player for Sheffield Wednesday’s Under-21 team. Standing at 6ft 5in, the Irish defender made his first and only competitive appearance for Sheffield Wednesday in an FA Cup match against Fleetwood Town in February 2023. Despite training with the senior team on several occasions and participating in the pre-season trip to Spain last summer under former manager Xisco Munoz, his progression to the starting XI was hindered, leading Sheffield Wednesday to make the difficult decision to release him.

Eddie Howe loves Kevin Keegan but will be frustrated with comparisons between his Newcastle side and 1990s ‘The Entertainers’ – their current identity of chaos does not match last season’s success built on resilience

Howe acknowledges that this style is not sustainable. The team is both scoring and conceding goals at a rate reminiscent of Keegan’s cavalier era, with their defensive record notably worse than last season. Despite their entertaining style of play, even the coaching staff might not fully endorse it. Howe’s visibly ecstatic celebration with the supporters after a recent win marked a departure from his usual restrained demeanor, indicating a sense of relief and emotion at avoiding a potential defeat.
