While the Owls may currently be six points from safety, their two games in hand over a number of teams above them could see the narrow the gap in the coming weeks, as they look to claw their way out of the relegation zone and begin to push towards the safety of mid-table.Meanwhile, the returning Sam Hutchinson has been speaking to the Star ahead of his second spell with Wednesday, after signing a new contract with the club earlier in the week.He revealed: “I told my agent that there was only really one club that I wanted to go to. Obviously we looked into other clubs because, as an agent, he’s trying to find out what’s best for me."There were other options, I’m not going to lie, financially there were better options, but I only had one club I wanted to come to. I still feel like I have a point to prove here."Here's our latest rundown of all the news and transfer chat involving Sheffield Wednesday and a number of their divisional rivals:
