Two positions Sheffield Wednesday need to strengthen in January transfer window

Sheffield Wednesday has yet to add a new player twelve days into the transfer window. The team led by Danny Röhl has unquestionable potential. The Owls are now three points outside of the play-off spots in 10th place in the Championship with 20 games left. Are they able to stay up with the top six? Or will they end up being mediocre in the middle of the table? Their season is in a precarious position. Röhl has stated time and time again that he wants to increase their chances of promotion by bringing in reinforcements. “You see, getting some players is really difficult, and you have to put your all into it,” he said. We’ll try, and hopefully, we’ll be able to add some talented players to our team. Yorkshire Live has examined two positions that Wednesday needs to solidify before to the market closing on February 3:

However, Wednesday’s defense is in dire need of reinforcements as Dominic Iorfa might be sidelined for up to two months due to a muscular issue. A fresh face is essential as Röhl attempts to strengthen one of the division’s weakest defenses due to the lack of depth and experience at the back.Wednesday is interested in signing Harry Clarke, a defender for Ipswich Town, on loan for the remainder of the season, according to a report in The Star. After playing 35 games for the Town last season, the double promotion winner has only made seven Premier League outings this season. Ipswich is thought to permit Clarke to go on loan in pursuit of consistent playing time. Securing his signature could be a huge boost for the Owls’ play-off dreams.

Röhls formations and tactics may often be a nuisance to grasp as they vary and alternate constantly during a contest. However, it is apparent he likes to bring his wide players high up the pitch, often using a wing back formation to make it happen. There are a range of possibilities on the right side, with Valery, Pol Valentin, Liam Palmer and even Djeidi Gassama all capable of playing there.

But the left flank lacks depth, energy and defensive consistency. Marvin Johnson has gone off the boil of late, posting a succession of below-par outings. Johnson would be kept on his toes by increased competition in this area. Röhl maintains that he is only searching for improvements rather than replacements. This is the job right now, he added. We will look at some players, and it’s crucial to realize that improving our quality is more important than simply replacing a guy. Röhl hasn’t revealed many possible transfer targets. There are a lot of names and rumors right now, he remarked. I shall now refrain from commenting on specific players. You can observe it throughout the market; there is a lot of activity right now, a lot of rumors, and every team is connected to some players.
