Sheffield Wednesday's next opponents submit bumper bid for 17...

This weekend’s matchup against Sheffield Wednesday might feature a highly effective new player leading the line for

Luton Town.

The Owls and Hatters will face off on Saturday afternoon at Hillsborough as Wednesday attempts to snap their home

winless streak. They enter the match as favourites because their opponents have lost six of their previous seven

Championship games and are winless in eight games across all competitions.

In reaction to the team’s terrible performance, Rob Edwards was let go and Matt Bloomfield took his place. The club

acquired Bloomfield from the prestigious Wycombe Wanderers in League One, but it seems they weren’t satisfied

with simply acquiring their manager.

According to media reports, Luton have made an offer of £5m+ to try and land Richard Kone, with Bloomfield

looking to try and bring him to Bedfordshire in hope of him adding to his impressive 17-goal tally at Kenilworth Road

going forwards – though only time will tell whether the Chairboys will be willing to part ways with him or not.

It will be interesting to see if Sam Grace brings him back into the starting lineup amidst all the rumours of a possible

departure, even though Buckinghamshire’s suggestions have suggested that he isn’t for sale. Wycombe plays

Barnsley this evening after playing just 23 minutes in the 0-0 draw with Northampton Town over the weekend.

Two days before the transfer window closes, on Saturday afternoon, Wednesday will meet Luton. Danny Röhl will

undoubtedly be hoping that Kone isn’t added to the Luton roster before then, if only because it will offer him one less

scenario to attempt and prepare for.
