Sheffield Wednesday are interested in signing a new free agent.
Hillsborough has already put their target on trial at the club.
Sheffield Wednesday are considering signing a new free agent, and a reputable journalist has reported that he is already in the Hillsborough building.
What is the most recent Sheffield Wednesday transfer news?
According to Transfermarkt, Xisco Munoz was extremely busy in the market over the summer, bringing in 12 new faces, where Djeidi Gassama and Pol Valentin both joined permanently for transfer fees and the likes of Jeff Hendrick and Ashley Fletcher put pen to paper on loans, but there were also plenty of outgoings.
In terms of departures, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Dennis Adeniran, Jack Hunt, Jasmine Brown, David Stockdale, and Ben Heneghan all left, making room in the team for potential additions, and the manager has already set his sights on one player in particular.
Lyle Taylor left Steve Cooper’s Nottingham Forest team at the end of last season after his contract expired, making him a free agent on the market ready to be snatched up by a new club, and he could be on his way to the Championship.
Montserrat’s international was sighted at the stadium on Tuesday evening for the 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough, and if the following update is to be believed, the centre-forward is presently working behind the scenes to earn a move to South Yorkshire.
Sheffield Wednesday have signed Lyle Taylor.
Darren Witcoop revealed on X that Taylor has been offered a trial by Sheffield Wednesday, who has been practicing with the first-team with the hope of landing a permanent move with Munoz’s side in the near future.
“Lyle Taylor, a free agent striker, is training with Sheffield Wednesday in the hopes of landing a contract.” Taylor, who departed Nottingham Forest in the summer, has rejected contract offers from a number of League One clubs in order to play in the Championship.”
Lyle Taylor has how many goals?
Taylor has made an incredible 211 contributions (156 goals and 55 assists) in 463 games since the start of his career, and has been hailed as a “natural finisher” by journalist Josh Bunting, so he may be a terrific addition for Sheffield Wednesday.
Along with being a prolific attacker in the final third, the Greenwich-born prospect is also a versatile operator, having been deployed in four different positions across the attack since the start of his career, including three roles across the frontline and even in attacking midfield.
The Owls target even has the same agent, SMI Sports Management, as both Barry Bannan and John Buckley, so the fact that his representative already has a relationship to the club should give chiefs a great opportunity if he impresses on trial.
The Hillsborough club will be aware that Taylor is now 33 years old, so it would make sense for them to just offer him a short-term contract, but he’s clearly a player worth adding to the books for the rest of the season.
