Pierce Charles, the promising 19-year-old goalkeeper for Sheffield Wednesday, may be heading out on loan this summer, though the final decision is yet to be made. Despite his impressive performances for Northern Ireland in the U19 European Championship, Charles is unlikely to see much playing time for his club this season, with James Beadle and Ben Hamer ahead of him in the pecking order. An injury to Hamer, however, has created an unexpected opportunity, and the club has brought George Shelvey in on trial. Sheffield Wednesday’s manager, Danny Röhl, is considering the best path forward for Charles, emphasizing the importance of his development and the possibility of a loan move.

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.

Dominic Matteo believes Leeds United fans have yet to see the full potential of Ilia Gruev, one of Daniel Farke’s signings, who has been working exceptionally hard in training since arriving at Elland Road. As Leeds prepares to face Southampton at Wembley on Sunday for a place in the Premier League, they must alter their approach after losing both previous encounters this season.

Gruev, who joined in January, has become a key player and is expected to be in the starting lineup. Matteo praises Gruev’s dedication, noting that despite not always being flashy, he excels at the fundamentals and has the potential to contribute more goals. One of the season’s highlights was Gruev’s superb free-kick, which led to a 4-0 victory over Norwich City, showcasing his quick decision-making and ability to perform under pressure.
