Sheffield Wednesday have reached an agreement to sign Callum Slattery from Motherwell. The midfielder is set to join the Owls as a free agent, replacing Svante Ingelsson who is joining Stoke City in a deal worth at least £1m.
What's behind the signing?
The Owls have been active in the transfer market, with new owners the Storch family looking to make a statement. Barry Bannan, the former club captain, is also expected to make a swift return to Hillsborough.
How will Slattery fit in?
Callum Slattery is an all-rounder in the middle of the park, and is likely to provide an added goal threat that Ingelsson struggled with. The numbers show that Slattery is a bargain signing for the Owls.
What's the current state of the team?
As of 27 Jun 2026, Sheffield Wednesday are 24th in the Championship, with 0 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WLLDD. The team has scored 29 goals and conceded 89, with a goal difference of -60.
