Sheffield Wednesday may be interested in Aston Villa’ Cameron Archer, but it seems – for now at least – it’s a tough deal to do.

The Star understands that at this stage the England youth international is not available on loan as Steven Gerrard sees him as part of his plans for the remainder of the 2021/22 campaign.

Archer has been in and out of Gerrard’s first team squad this season, making his Premier League debut last year and going on to play a handful of games for the Villans’ first team over the course of the past few months – and he was on the bench for their first two games of 2022.

Like the future of any player, things are subject to change at any point, but for now it looks as though any team keen on signing the talented youngster this season – Wednesday or otherwise – will be left disappointed.
