Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday are looking to sign Joe Taylor from Huddersfield Town to strengthen their forward line.
What happened?
The Owls have been linked with a move for Jamie Vardy, but Taylor is a more sensible target. Taylor has already proven himself in League One with 11 goals in 21 appearances for Wigan Athletic.
Why it matters for Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday need a striker who can score consistently in League One. Taylor has shown he can do that, and his age and potential for development make him a more attractive option than Vardy.
What comes next?
The Owls are also close to re-signing Barry Bannan, which would be a major boost to their promotion bid. With Taylor and Bannan on board, Sheffield Wednesday would have a strong chance of returning to the Championship. | Stat | Value | | --- | --- | | League standing | 24th, 0 pts, 2W-12D-32L from 46 games | | Recent form | WLLDD | | Last result | Sheffield Wednesday 2-1 West Brom (2026-05-02) Sheffield Wednesday's current situation is a far cry from their painful campaign last term, which saw them spend most of the season in administration and get relegated in February with an 18-point deduction.
