Sheffield Wednesday, considering playmaker Danny Rohl, were desperate to sign in January

Sheffield Wednesday have reportedly tracked down one of the players they missed out on in January.

Sheffield Wednesday’s January transfer window looked very disappointing at first. But the arrivals of the owls in January played an important role in their journey to safety.

James Beadle, Ike Ugbo and Ian Poveda have all played their part and the club are keen to have them all back this summer, either on permanent or temporary deals.

Elsewhere, Sheffield Wednesday look set to make strides off the pitch with improvements to their Middlewood training ground accompanied by contract talks for manager Danny Rohl.

This summer looks to be a very promising one for Sheffield Wednesday, who could yet return to one of their January targets; Duncan McGuire.

Duncan McGuire at Sheffield Wednesday at the latest

The McGuire saga was a very memorable one, albeit for the wrong reasons, with McGuire going to and from Blackburn Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday, only to end up back in the US with Orlando City.

Since the failed move to the Championship, McGuire has continued to struggle in MLS, scoring four in nine for Orlando City, who currently sit 14th in the Eastern Conference.

And now journalist Alex Miller has revealed to X that Sheffield Wednesday have been keeping an eye on McGuire since the January transfer window, but they will need to act quickly if they are to sign him this summer.

Orlando has offered new terms to the 23-year-old USMNT forward, who has concrete offers from unnamed teams in Belgium and Germany.

The key factor behind Duncan McGuire’s potential move to Sheffield Wednesday

McGuire is clearly someone Sheffield Wednesday have done their research and wanted to bring in during the January transfer window.

Ultimately, McGuire’s failed move was cushioned by Ugbo’s seven goals and Poveda’s attacking presence, and if both re-sign this summer, when McGuire suits up at Sheffield Wednesday could be up for debate .

But the fact that Wednesday have been tracking him since suggests a move could still be on the cards, although whether or not Sheffield Wednesday can afford it remains to be seen.

The January bids for McGuire looked like a panic buy for Sheffield Wednesday and it is not known how much these offers from Germany and Belgium are.

Wednesday may not be able to compete in a bidding war and with Middlewood’s improvements there may not be as much money for signings this summer, or at least not signings of his caliber McGuire with interest across Europe to show how highly rated he is. .

This doesn’t seem like a very likely transfer, but it’s definitely one to keep an eye on.
