Sheffield Wednesday plot transfer raid for ex-Man City starlet, Nottingham Forest eye Premier League midfielder

Sheffield Wednesday headed into 2021 with a little more optimism than in the weeks prior to the new year, after they extended their unbeaten win to three games and making it back-to-back wins with a victory against Derby County last weekend - a result which saw the Owls move out of the relegation zone.

Next, Wednesday play Exeter - a club they haven't faced in over eight years - at St James Park on Saturday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Owls continue their efforts to find a successor to manager Tony Pulis, while their pursuit of transfer targets remains another pressing priority.
