Sheffield Wednesday are in Wales as they prepare to kick off what is surely another seminal season for them back in League One and with clubs around them in the potential promotion stakes making moves, they’ll want to crack on sooner rather than later.
Owls boss Darren Moore is working with something of a skeleton squad as they embark on a 10-day camp that will end with a clash against Scottish giants Celtic next week.
But what’s going on elsewhere? Which Wednesday man could seal a deal to a direct rival? What’s the latest on the newest name to be linked with the Owls?
Let’s take a whistle-stop tour through some of the biggest transfer talking points in the division.
9. Pompey get going..
Another big club undergoing something of a transition is Portsmouth, who under Danny Cowley are hoping to start again. An eye-catching signing has been that of Ryan Tunnicliffe, on a free from Luton Town, who will provide presence in midfield. His signing was confirmed over the weekend. Photo: Ross Kinnaird
![It was confirmed some time ago that long-time Wednesday man Matt Penney would be leaving the club on a free transfer at the end of his deal. He'd been linked fleetingly with Swindon Town and then with QPR, but it seems a switch to ambitious League One promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town is on the cards and could be completed as soon as today [Monday].](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/b25lY21zOmFkNjM3MmMxLTM3ZTgtNGRhNS04NmU4LTk1NmY0NjQyNjRkYjplMjAxODAxNS04NmVjLTQwODQtOTJkMy1hNjQ4NzIwNGUyMjc=.jpg?crop=4:3&trim=&width=800)

11. One from left-field..
This one has taken a few by surprise. Bolton Wanderers could be set to snap up former England youth international Xavier Amaechi if reports are to be believed. The subject of a £2 move from Arsenal to Hamburg, things haven't quite gone to plan for him in Germany and the 20-year-old winger and Football Insider report the Trotters have taken him on trial.

12. Wing down?
Reports by YorkshireLive over the weekend suggested Wednesday are interested in bringing Middlesbrough's former Rotherham United loanee Lewis Wing to the club. They face competition from the likes of Peterborough and Hull, it has been suggested, though Millers boss Paul Warne laughed off suggestions his former player would drop into League One.
