Sheffield Wednesday boss Henrik Pedersen shares promising Harry Amass transfer update
Sheffield Wednesday are still waiting to find out if they will be able to keep Harry Amass for the remainder of the season.
Manager Henrik Pedersen is still hopeful Sheffield Wednesday will reach an agreement with Manchester United to keep loanee Harry Amass for the rest of the season.
Pedersen made the admission after Amass played the final game of his loan spell on Sunday, starting the Owls’ 3-0 defeat to QPR at Loftus Road.
Signed from the Premier League club on deadline day back in September after United agreed to cover all the finances involved in the deal, the teenager has gone from strength-to-strength during his time in S6, meaning everyone at Hillsborough is desperate for him to stay for the second half of the season.
Over the last few days, Amass, who has made 21 appearances for Wednesday, has been linked with moving to Stoke City. It is understood United head coach Ruben Amorim has no intentions to integrate him into the first-team at Old Trafford.
With Wednesday supporters desperate for good news, Pedersen has insisted all is not yet lost in the club’s hopes of keeping Amass until the end of the campaign.
Pedersen hopeful of extending Amass deal
"We don't have any conclusion yet, but I believe that we can find a solution for him, and there is a good dialogue between the clubs," Pedersen told The Star.
"I hope in the next days that we will make a new step.”
Asked if Amass has expressed any desire to stay at Hillsborough, Pedersen continued: "Yes, he'd like to be a part of our club, of course."
Amass was a bright spark for the Owls at Loftus Road, producing another encouraging performance that featured an obvious willingness to get forward and try and make things happen.
"He's 18-years-old and he played more or less all the minutes," Pedersen said of his performance. "It's strong what the young man is doing, and that does not mean that everything is perfect.
"But to keep on going, it doesn't matter what happened in the last action, five seconds ago, he keeps on going in the next action.
And this quality when you're just 18-years-old is very strong."
