Sheffield Wednesday plot transfer raid for Dane Scarlett
Sheffield Wednesday can get what Ipswich Town didn't by sealing the transfer of Dane Scarlett, a striker who has been struggling to make an impact in his loan spells. The Owls are reportedly interested in signing Scarlett from Tottenham Hotspur, who has made 27 appearances for the Premier League side, scoring just one goal.
Scarlett's loan spells have been underwhelming, with the 22-year-old making just 12 substitute appearances for Ipswich Town last season and scoring no goals. He also had a stint with Hibernian in Scotland, where he scored just one goal and provided one assist in 13 appearances.
What happened to Dane Scarlett?
Scarlett's struggles on loan have raised concerns about his ability to make an impact in the Championship. Despite being one of the youngest players to debut for Tottenham Hotspur, Scarlett has failed to break into the team and has been loaned out to several clubs.
Why it matters for Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday are looking to bolster their forward line ahead of the new season, and signing Scarlett could provide them with the firepower they need to compete in the Championship. The Owls have already made 12 new signings this summer, but they are keen to add more depth to their squad.
What comes next?
Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping to seal the transfer of Scarlett soon, but it remains to be seen whether they will be successful in their bid. The Owls have a busy schedule ahead of them, with their next fixture against Wigan on February 20th.
