According to football journalist Darren Witcoop, many EFL teams are eyeing Fulham’s promising talent Jay Stansfield during this transfer window, following his impressive stint with Birmingham City last season. Birmingham City, with their substantial financial resources, seem to have an edge in the competition for Stansfield, having already entered negotiations for his return to St. Andrew’s despite his hefty price tag of over £5 million. While Sunderland has shown interest in the 21-year-old, Fulham’s high asking price might deter them. However, if Sunderland wants to make a strong statement after a disappointing 2023/24 season, they might consider going all in for Stansfield, who could be a significant upgrade over their current target.

Uncertainty surrounds the future of a key summer transfer target for Sheffield Wednesday. As the Owls prepare for the 2024/25 Championship season, they have paused transfer activities to focus on a pre-season friendly against Werder Bremen. Despite a recent 4-0 defeat to Red Bull Salzburg, anticipation remains high for the team’s performance.

Sheffield Wednesday aims to bolster their squad, pushing to re-sign Ike Ugbo from Troyes and submitting a bid for Karamoko Dembele from Brest. Dembele’s future remains uncertain, as he has been told he can leave Brest despite a strong loan spell with Blackpool and a contract until 2026. Amidst multiple bids and ongoing speculation, Dembele’s latest social media post suggests Brest may want to reassess his role, possibly delaying any move to Sheffield Wednesday until later in the transfer window.

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.
