Sheffield Wednesday transfers LIVE: Lewis Wing loan cancelled to facilitate Wycombe Wanderers transfer
and live on Freeview channel 276
Wing had been on a season-long loan from Championship outfit Middlesbrough but failed to impress in his 24 appearances and found himself out of the matchday squad in recent weeks.
With eight loan players on the Owls’ books amid a busy January transfer window, an early termination appeared to be the best option both parties.

Hide AdLast week, the Owls brought in the hugely experienced Harlee Dean on loan from Birmingham City and the defender made an impressive debut in Wednesday’s weekend win over Ipswich Town at Hillsborough.
Playing alongside Dean was another defender recently brought to S6 on loan, in Preston’s Jordan Storey who was also making his first start in that victory over the Tractor Boys.
And turning the debutants up to three was Arsenal forward Tyreece John-Jules who came off the bench for the Moore’s men to feature in the final 20 minutes.
It would appear that Moore has got what he has wanted in the transfer window so far, so there’s not likely to be an influx of players coming through the door on deadline day. However, the market has been slow and players who had previously been declared unavailable could have a change in circumstances, meaning that Wednesday – like many clubs today – may be offered a player that could be just too good to turn down.

Hide AdWhat we can expect, is a player or two going out on loan. There are some on the fringes of the first team who could do with more regular game time – young defender Ciaran Brennan is now one of those following the arrival of Dean and Storey – so there’s likely to be movement in the regard, though switches to the National League can go through after the deadline.
Whatever happens today you’ll get the latest here on our live blog throughout the day and right up until the window closes at 11pm.

What goes into signing a footballer? Sheffield Wednesday’s Darren Moore offered some insight into how a deal gets done, and some of the pitfalls.
Welcome to Deadline Day
If you’re a fan of rumours, online rants, sneaky agents, [insert any name] being spotted in a local KFC and footballers holding scarves above their heads in empty stadiums, then today is for you. It’s practically Christmas.
Yes, it’s deadline day in the January transfer window and unless your team is going to sign someone who’s been given the boot a while ago and is now a free agent who hasn’t played for a fair while, then today is their last chance to bolster the squad.
For Wednesday, they appear to have got the job done earlyish with three players coming in recently in Harlee Dean, Jordan Storey and Tyreece John-Jules but you just never know what might crop up between now and 11pm.
We are expecting at least a couple to be going out the door on loan and of course, (fear not, we are definitely not saying this is something that is likely to happen), who knows who might come in with a late big-money bid for a player. Deadline Day throws up all manner of madness, particularly in January, so it’s worth keeping track of all the developments throughout the day.
To do that, you can stay right here, where our team of Owls experts will bring you all the latest news and rumours on Wednesday and the teams around them, right up until the window [dramatic voice] SLAMS SHUT!
