The 8 players have been linked with Sheffield Wednesday so far this summer

Sheffield Wednesday will be in the market for some fresh faces this summer and a host of players have already been linked with the Owls.

Sheffield Wednesday are embarking on an important summer transfer window as they look to climb too far up the Championship table under popular boss Danny Rohl.

The German has guided the Owls to safety against the odds and after committing his future to the club on a long-term deal, the hope will be that they can get off to a flying start with the help of a strong summer.

The transfer window hasn’t even started yet, but the rumor mill has been spinning to some degree with a host of players linked with a move to Hillsborough.

Here, we highlight the 8 players linked with Sheffield Wednesday so far this summer and assess the chances of a deal going through…

Ian Poveda

Starting with one of a number of recent loan stars linked with a return to Sheffield Wednesday, the Owls are said to be keen to bring winger Poveda back to the club.

As noted in The Star’s report, however, there is rival interest from teams and Championship teams overseas.

How likely is a deal?

Given the success Poveda has found at Hillsborough and how well Rohl rates him, you have to feel the Owls have a good chance of bringing him in when his Leeds United contract expires.

Keenan Carole

Another prospect from Leeds United, it has emerged that winger Carole has headed to the Whites’ Yorkshire rivals on trial as a summer exit beckons.

How likely is a deal?

If he did enough to impress at Sheffield Wednesday, you’d think there would be few obstacles to a deal. Whether or not he earns a deal with the Owls remains to be seen.

James Beadle

After a successful loan spell for the 19-year-old goalkeeper, Sheffield Wednesday have been heavily linked with a reunion with Beadle. He arrived in January and took over from Cameron Dawson, keeping eight clean sheets in 19 league games.

How likely is a deal?

Brighton have been said to send him back, although the wait for them to appoint a new manager could delay a return to Hillsborough. Sheffield Wednesday remain in talks despite their pursuit of Ben Hamer and, in time, feel he has a strong chance of being completed.

Ike Ugbo

The latest of the loan players linked with an Owls return is striker Ike Ugbo, whose goals have proved crucial in their bid for survival after a half-season stint with Cardiff City.

How likely is a deal?

It has been reported that Sheffield Wednesday could reach a cut-price deal if Ugbo’s parent club ESTAC Troyes were relegated.

Their relegation to France’s third tier has since been confirmed, but with two years left on his contract, he may not come cheap. The possibility of a cheaper deal could put other suitors on alert, so there could be a bit of a battle for his signature.

This might not be the easiest deal to make despite his success with the loan.

Karamoko Dembele

Sheffield Wednesday have been rumored to have contacted Stade Brestois over the possibility of a deal for Dembele, who returns to France after a loan spell with League One side Blackpool.

How likely is a deal?

Dembele would be an attractive signing on a permanent or loan basis. However, he is said to have a lot of interest, so even if Stade Brestois let him go, he could be headed elsewhere.

Who is this?




THE QUIZ STARTS!

Charlie Goode

Another report from The Star said Goode’s name could be considered at Hillsborough as he prepares to become a free agent at the end of his Brentford contract.

How likely is a deal?

On a free transfer, Goode would be a smart signing. If Sheffield Wednesday were to pursue him, you have to feel it’s a doable deal, but it remains to be seen if their initial interest turns into something more serious.

Ben Hamer

As previously touched upon, BBC Sheffield’s Rob Staton has claimed that departing Watford goalkeeper Hamer is set to link up with the Owls.

How likely is a deal?

This seems like a move that is only a matter of time. He will be a smart and experienced addition to Rohl’s goaltending department.

Michael Baidoo

Last but not least, and most recently, reports from Sweden claim that Sheffield Wednesday are among a number of teams in England and Europe eyeing a potential deal for versatile Elfsborg midfielder Michael Baidoo.

How likely is a deal?

Middlesbrough, Hull City, Luton Town and a host of European clubs are said to be keen.

So if Wednesday’s interest is real, they’ll have a fight on their hands trying to get a deal done.
