Sheffield Wednesday’s interest in the ‘bright spark’ has now been clarified amid recent transfer rumours

It has been reported that Sheffield Wednesday are now considering a free transfer for Nathaniel Chalobah, who has just been released by West Brom.

Wednesday also prioritizes strengthening the attack, having already signed Jamal Lowe and Olaf Kobacki.

Although they are keen to bring in a new striker, recent reports have suggested they are very close to signing another winger.

The latest on Sheffield Wednesday’s ‘pursuit’ of Scott Wright

It was reported last week that the Yorkshire club were interested in signing Scott Wright from Rangers, before it was claimed at the weekend that he could join them “within the next 48 hours”.

The ‘bright spark’ was then seen traveling to Holland for Rangers’ pre-season training camp, leaving fans a bit confused.

The Star has now clarified the situation surrounding Wright and downplayed talk of a move to Hillsborough.

The report states that Wednesday “is not believed to have anything in the works on the extreme.”

Are the owls missing?

Danny Rohl currently has Josh Windass, Djeidi Gassama, Anthony Musaba, Callum Paterson, Marvin Johnson, Kobacki and Lowe all capable of playing out wide.

To inject more money into the wide positions should not be a focus of Rohl, with a No.9 certainly more important at the moment.

The Owls will have to spend big if they are to sign a proven Championship goalscorer and saving money elsewhere could be important.

With Ike Ugbo still at the top of their shortlist, he is likely to cost seven figures and the increased interest in his signature will only increase the price.

If Wednesday want that big striker, then missing out on Wright certainly doesn’t seem like a big deal – especially given his disappointing record.
