Sheffield Wednesday appear to be edging closer to signing Rangers winger Scott Wright after reports emerged that a contract offer has been put on the table.

The 26-year-old has a year remaining on his current deal at Ibrox, although news of the Owls’ interest emerged last week. It was claimed by The fourth official that Danny Rohl has identified the Scot as a potential target as he looks to strengthen his attacking options.

Wednesday are keen to avoid a repeat of last season, where they survived relegation from the Championship. Despite looking doomed for most of the campaign, they managed the great escape after picking up four wins and two draws from their last six games.

They have been extremely active in the transfer window so far as they look to build on their stunning finishing. Rohl has already added seven names to his squad, including the acquisitions of Jamal Lowe, Max Lowe and Olaf Kobacki. However, their summer business is far from over.

Sheffield Wednesday’s signing is closer

Wright is the latest name linked with a move to Hillsborough, with the manager commenting on the situation at the weekend. Speaking after the 2-0 pre-season win over Alfreton on Saturday, the German said:

“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.”

Conformable Football Insider, the Owls have made the first move by submitting a contract offer to the former Aberdeen striker. Wright has made 117 appearances for Rangers since his move to Glasgow in 2021, although he mainly played a minor role last season. As such, the Scottish giants are prepared to let him leave provided he receives a six-figure fee.

While Wednesday appear to be in pole position, the report also states that there is interest from other clubs in the Championship as well as League One.

The writer’s vision

Sheffield Wednesday certainly mean business and Danny Rohl is building a squad capable of a much better finish than last season. The reputation the 35-year-old has built up during his short stay in England so far has also made the Owls an attractive prospect, with players keen to join the German revolution at Hillsborough.

Wright has endured a difficult 12 months at Ibrox but will take inspiration from Mikey Johnston’s loan move from Celtic to West Bromwich Albion. The Republic of Ireland international revitalized his career at the Hawthorns last season and a move to the Championship for the Rangers winger could prove just as rewarding.

While there appears to be interest from elsewhere, the Yorkshire outfit appear to be building something special. This could put them at the front of the queue.
