Sheffield Wednesday agree deal to sign “significant” 32 y/o who Rohl knows
Sheffield Wednesday are now on the verge of completing the signing of a “really significant” player, according to a big update from reliable journalist Alex Miller.
According to a major update from trustworthy journalist Alex Miller, Sheffield Wednesday is now close to finalizing the signing of a “really significant” player.
After overcoming relegation from the Championship the previous season, the Owls are now in a fight for promotion.
As they get ready to host struggling Luton Town on Saturday afternoon, Danny Rohl’s team is currently ranked tenth in the league.
Given that his team may still lack the depth to place in the top six come May, Rohl will understand the significance of Wednesday making a few late additions during the current transfer window.
The 32-year-old Stuart Armstrong, who is currently with the Vancouver Whitecaps, has been heavily linked to a move to Hillsborough.
With so much quality and experience in the middle of the park, the Scotland international might be a great addition to the Owls.
In addition to his impressive 149 Premier League appearances, he has earned 51 caps for his nation.
Harry Clarke, a right-back for Ipswich Town, was thought to be a loan option for Wednesday, but Sheffield United, a local rival, signed him until the end of the season.
In the upcoming days, it is unclear if another target will be considered for his position.
Armstrong is expected to join Sheffield Wednesday.
After a deal is reached and a medical is finished, Sheffield Wednesday is now expected to sign Armstrong, according to Miller on X of The Star:
“I fully expect Stuart Armstrong to join Sheffield Wednesday, barring any unpleasant last-minute hiccups.
played yesterday; today is the flight from Spain; this afternoon is the medical examination. Here is some information about likely weekend eligibility.
This is excellent business by Wednesday, as Armstrong has the experience required for the second half of the campaign.
Additionally, it would allow fellow countryman Barry Bannan to take more time off, which would keep him in good form.
Despite his advanced age, the Scot will bring box-to-box energy, and Brendan Rodgers praised him when they were teammates at Celtic, saying:
“He is one of our most important players. It’s wonderful to witness. Giving him a framework has only helped him achieve his goals; everything else is up to him. Giving them confidence is all that it takes to be a goalscorer.
As you can see, Stuart should have had a hat-trick when he played right-back against Inverness. He would most likely score if I positioned him at center-half.
That’s the kind of player he is. He has an innate ability to think creatively and achieve his goals.
Although Armstrong is not expected to play against Luton this weekend, it feels like the move is now imminent, and he will hopefully be added to the squad after that with the goal of becoming an immediate hit.
Additionally, he is already acquainted with Rohl, who was Ralph Hasenhuttl’s assistant at St. Mary’s and collaborated with Armstrong at Southampton.
As they aim to make their first Premier League appearance since 2000, Rohl may view him as a player who can help his team reach new heights.
