Status of Sheffield Wednesday link to Man Utd talent as Belgian club move in on recent transfer option

Work continues in the Sheffield Wednesday recruitment department.

The transfer window is rolling on, with work going on behind the scenes at Sheffield Wednesday as they look to finalise their squad ahead of its September 1 closure.

The Owls have been among the most active clubs in the window and will do more business to flesh-out areas of the squad in the coming weeks. Attacking positions are known to be a priority, while other positions are also being sought as they look to ensure their changing room is ready for the challenges of a full League One campaign.

One such position is at left-back, where Max Lowe stands as the only out-and-out senior option as things stand. Wednesday have been linked with a handful of potential additions in the last weeks, with Crystal Palace man Tayo Adaramola understood to have been an early-doors consideration after he impressed in stages of his loan stint to Hillsborough last season.

Despite the 22-year-old’s availability for a fee, that interest has not developed into an extended pursuit and with the Owls operating close to their recruitment restrictions, it seems he is bound for Europe. Reports in the national media suggest the Republic of Ireland youngster is the subject of a six-figure negotiation over a transfer to Cercle Brugge, who avoided relegation from the Belgian top tier last season and count another recent Owls loanee, Joel Ndala, in their squad.

Elsewhere, The Star reported yesterday that Liverpool youngster Calum Scanlon was a player of interest to the Owls and that while conversations have taken place over a potential deal, he is more likely to spent the season on loan in the Championship instead as things stand.

Another Premier League youngster linked with Wednesday in the last few days is Manchester United defender Jaydan Kamason. The 19-year-old has spent time on the bench with the United seniors in Europa League competition but is yet to get a proper taste of first team football. The Star’s understanding is that Kamason is not a player Wednesday are pursuing at this time. Reports also stated the likes of Southampton, Bristol City, Preston North End and Blackburn Rovers - all Championship clubs - were interested in him.
