Sheffield Wednesday’s first away match of the 2024/25 season in the Carabao Cup is scheduled for August 14th against Hull City. This confirmation follows last week’s announcement of the Owls’ initial cup game, initially slated for the week of August 12th. With their Championship opener against Plymouth Argyle set for August 11th, the midweek clash was anticipated to be later than games involving Friday or Saturday fixtures.

The club has now detailed that the Carabao Cup match will commence at 7:45pm at the MKM Stadium. This announcement comes as Danny Röhl and his squad continue their preseason preparations, with additional matches against Alfreton Town and LaLiga side Leganes, as well as a potential trip to Germany, offering further opportunities to fine-tune their strategy.

Former Rangers star ‘agrees’ Sheffield Wednesday contract and he could be joined at Owls by current Ibrox ace

Sheffield Wednesday might have some reminders of Rangers this season. The Owls are reportedly interested in a current Rangers player, who would join a former Ibrox star already at the club. Josh Windass, with Sheffield Wednesday since 2020, was uncertain about his future as his contract neared its end. Despite stalled negotiations in early June, The Star has reported that Windass is now expected to stay at Hillsborough, with a deal agreed to keep him at the club. Since joining from Wigan, Windass has recorded 57 goals and assists in 135 games for Sheffield Wednesday.

Manager Danny Rohl expressed optimism about ongoing contract talks with his players, stating, “All in all, I am positive at the moment. I am still in contact with all the players, we are in talks, and now it is about finding the agreement to take the next step.” One potential new arrival is Scott Wright, a Rangers winger linked with a move to Sheffield Wednesday, who almost transferred to Turkey last summer and now faces increased competition at Rangers.

Danny Rohl now ‘ready’ to make ‘highly-rated’ gem his sixth summer signing at Sheffield Wednesday

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.

Sheffield Wednesday has shown interest in acquiring Rangers winger Scott Wright, who has a year left on his contract. The 26-year-old has caught the eye of Wednesday’s manager, Danny Rohl, who is eager to bring him to the Championship side. Wright, who joined Rangers in 2021 and played in the Europa League Final against Eintracht Frankfurt, has found it difficult to secure a regular spot under manager Philippe Clement. With Clement planning significant changes and already adding five new players to the squad, Wright’s future at Ibrox is uncertain. Sheffield Wednesday hopes to finalize a deal for Wright before the new season starts.

Manager Philippe Clement discussed his vision for the team, emphasizing the importance of a balanced squad with both young talents and experienced players. He highlighted the recent departures and the need to integrate new signings quickly. Clement expressed excitement about the upcoming pre-season and the opportunity to instill the team’s principles in the new players, despite the challenges of managing a larger squad. He stressed the collective motivation of the players and staff to perform well from the outset, ready to tackle nine top games in the first four weeks of the season.

Manager Danny Röhl emphasized that Sheffield Wednesday’s recent tally of four new signings is merely the beginning of their ambitious plans. The team reported back to Middlewood Road on Friday for the first time since their impressive survival at Sunderland in early May.

Reflecting on past games and performance metrics, Röhl and his team have identified areas for improvement and incorporated these into the pre-season schedule.

“I would go with Ugbo” – Sheffield Wednesday claim made amid new Sory Kaba transfer news

Sheffield Wednesday might pivot to signing Sory Kaba from Las Palmas due to the potential high cost of securing Ike Ugbo from Troyes permanently. Ugbo, who joined on loan from the French club and previously played for Cardiff City, impressed with seven goals and one assist in 19 games, aiding in the club’s Championship survival. However, financial constraints could hinder a permanent move for Ugbo, prompting Wednesday to consider Kaba, who has Championship experience from his spell with Cardiff in the 2022/23 season and is now available for transfer after just one season with Las Palmas.

Three senior Sheffield Wednesday players are nearing the end of their contracts without having formally resolved their futures. While the club has been proactive in the transfer market, signing free agents Ben Hamer and Max Lowe and acquiring Yan Valery for an undisclosed fee, the fate of Josh Windass, Dominic Iorfa, and Di’Shon Bernard remains uncertain. Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer have secured new deals, but negotiations with Windass have stalled, making his continued stay at S6 increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, Iorfa has expressed a desire to stay but awaits further clarity on his contract status. Bernard’s decision is also pending, with discussions ongoing as he competes in the Copa America with Jamaica.

Sheffield Wednesday are on the verge of securing their third summer signing, with a medical examination scheduled for today, according to The Star. The Owls have already announced the signings of Ben Hamer and Max Lowe, who will join from Watford and Sheffield United respectively at the end of the month. Now, it appears that a permanent deal for Tunisian international Yan Valery is imminent as the 25-year-old prepares for his medical at S6.

Last week, The Star reported that Wednesday had reached an agreement with French club Angers regarding a fee for Valery. Despite interest from Montpellier and Standard Liege, the French-born defender expressed his preference for a return to England, with Owls manager Danny Röhl playing a significant role in his decision to join Wednesday. Valery, a versatile player often deployed as an attack-minded right-back, will bolster the Owls’ flanks, having recorded five assists in Angers’ successful Ligue 2 promotion campaign last season.

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.
