Every released Premier League player as Sheffield Wednesday monitor the free agent market

Before they can focus on which players will be added to their threadbare squad this summer, Wednesday will be prioritising who can come in to replace Darren Moore as their manager ahead of a Championship return that came about in dramatic circumstances.

Chairman, Dejphon Chansiri, was asked this month about budgets and whether the Owls would be in the free agent/loan market once again this summer, but he insisted that things weren’t so black and white.

“The manager will not have a fixed budget, there must be flexibility,” he said. “Every manager who comes here knows everything about the club before he signs, there are no surprises. We debate every aspect before the appointment so the manager is across every situation.

“In my time, if the manager puts forward a convincing case for a player then we will look at that proposal and then decide if it is feasible or not... Just because you pay a transfer fee it doesn’t make that deal or that player better, it just means there is a transfer fee. But with loans for example, the wages can be very high and actually turn out to be more expensive. Wages can be high on a free transfer as well, the same.

“The most important part is recruiting the right player for Sheffield Wednesday and that is what we always try to achieve, whether there is a transfer fee, a loan with a fee, or a free transfer, as we have seen in the past.”

So while Wednesday won’t be looking exclusively at free agents, it seems safe to say that it is a market they will be keeping a close eye on.
