Sheffield Wednesday boss’ admission to £1m

Sheffield Wednesday head coach Danny Rohl has refused to be drawn into speculation surrounding his side’s reported interest in Rangers striker Scott Wright.

The Owls have been very busy this summer despite the transfer window opening just three weeks ago. After miraculously surviving in the Championship last season, the South Yorkshire outfit have strengthened their first team squad with the additions of Jamal Lowe, Svante Ingelsson, Max Lowe, James Beadle, Ben Hamer, Yan Valery and most notably recently, on Olaf Kobacki. the rows.

Sheffield Wednesday boss’ admission to £1m

The board appear keen to avoid a repeat of last term’s relegation battle by backing a whole host of different positions across the squad. However, Wednesday may not yet be happy with their deal and have looked north to a player who plies his trade in Scotland.

It has been revealed that Sheffield Wednesday are monitoring Wright’s situation at Scottish giants Rangers as manager Philippe Clement looks to overhaul his squad this summer and could be open to offloading the 26-year-old.

Wright has 12 months left on his current deal at Ibrox, so this is Rangers’ last opportunity to cash in for the forward, who boasts a market value of £1million, according to Transfermarkt.

Owls boss Rohl was quizzed about the club’s interest in the former Aberdeen man on the BBC’s Football Heaven, but was not so keen to comment on a player who was not his contract (quotes via Football Scotland):


“I won’t talk about the name because it doesn’t make sense. This market moves so fast. We have an idea of ​​what we want to have, I have an idea of ​​how I want to play in the new season.

“We know what we need to improve when we look back from last season and then it’s about finding the right pieces to make our team stronger and stronger as we are very ambitious for the new season.”

The writer’s vision

Wright did not have his best season at Rangers as he made just 29 appearances in all competitions for the club and scored just three goals. Clement has opted to play alternative players out wide, so a move from Glasgow looks quite likely this summer.

The only problem is its price. While Wright is certainly good enough for the Championship, have his performances for Rangers in recent seasons, particularly during the 2023/24 campaign, justified a potential £1m fee? Perhaps Sheffield Wednesday could spend that money elsewhere or on a side that is already proven in England’s second tier.
