But with the focus of the club being the search for a new manager – while some players may not want to commit until they know who will be taking over – there doesn’t appear to be any immediate movement in terms of renewals or incomings.
Wednesday have already been linked with a number of players since the transfer window opened, though for now they remain just that - links.
