Wednesday hopeful of bringing in Premier League target for next game
Sheffield Wednesday boss Garry Monk has added fuel to the transfer fire, by commenting on the club’s need to recruit before their next Championship game – with Connor Wickham on their radar.
The Owls have been linked with the Crystal Palace striker Wickham, ever since Palace boss Roy Hodgson had expressed his permission for the forward to leave the club on a loan.
Wickham has previously played at Hillsborough on two loan spells from his former club Sunderland – impressing both times.
He said: “As I said at the very start, it’s a very difficult market we’re in, that loans market. It’s competitive.
“It’s not just about wanting a player and agreeing things from your side. It has to be agreed from the other side. There’s competition.
“There’s decisions that need to be made, not just from us. From players that might be involved, from clubs that might be involved.
“So it’s not just as simple as saying you want that player and we’re prepared to give this. That’s why it takes that time – but we hope we can get it over the line before Wigan”
