Sheffield Wednesday could still make a deadline day swoop for Marvelous Nakamba, but may have to play a waiting game over the Luton Town midfielder.

The Star reported of the Owls’ interest in the Zimbabwean last week, and it later emerged that he may be available as a free agent amid talks of a mutual termination of his contract with The Hatters.

Now, as we approach the end of the transfer window, it’s understood that the player is eager to make the switch to Hillsborough, and that a deal could be struck with Luton, however Wednesday need to get players out before they’re allowed to bring anybody else in.

Marvelous Nakamba’s transfer deadline day situation

Tayo Adaramola joined the Owls on loan on Sunday evening, occupying the left back spot that Henrik Pedersen was eager to fill, however Wednesday remain on a case-by-case basis with the English Football League when it comes to any fresh additions.

Nakamba would bring some much-needed experience to the Wednesday midfield if a deal can be done, but in order for that to happen it would appear that somebody needs to be sold. Svante Ingelsson, Bailey Cadamarteri and Yan Valery are all potential exits before tonight’s 7pm deadline.

The 32-year-old still has a contract with Luton until the end of the season, and is known to have interest elsewhere, but the suggestion is that he’d be keen to join the fight at Wednesday due to the size of the club and fact that it’s an opportunity to retutn to the Championship once again.
