Free agent goalkeeper Ben Hamer looks set to arrive whilst long-standing Owls shot-stopper Cameron Dawson now looks set to leave.
Danny Rohl looks set to bolster his attacking ranks more than anything this summer with several forwards linked so far this summer.
Duncan McGuire and Mika Biereth are both back on Sheffield Wednesday’s radar following links in January, whilst Ovie Ejaria has been mentioned.
Rohl is also desperate to re-sign loan stars Ike Ugbo and Ian Poveda, both on permanent deals.
Another name linked with a potential summer move to S6 is Karamoko Dembele; the former Celtic wonderkid shone on loan for Blackpool last season and is wanted on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday handed Karamoko Dembele boost
The 21-year-old Dembele is presently a player for Brest in Ligue 1, who will participate in the Champions League the following season after placing third in the league.
The Scottish winger Dembele won three Player of the Season honors at Bloomfield Road while on loan with Blackpool, where he also scored eight goals and provided 13 assists.
Due of his connections to Sheffield Wednesday and Portsmouth in the Championship, as well as the Premier League, he has attracted a lot of attention this summer.
However, a new report from The News claims that Pompey will decrease their interest because of the amount of interest that is now being displayed.
Dembele’s summer loan contract is reportedly of interest to Leeds United as well.
Can Sheffield Wednesday win Karamoko Dembele race
Dembele needs to act quickly now. After making his debut with Celtic at the age of 15, he has had a sporadic few years, but his performance at Blackpool has put him back on track.
After participating in League One with Blackpool, playing in the Champions League and going back to Brest might be too much of a jump up.
However, it looks like it would be better for Brest and his development if he were to go on loan to the Championship rather than making the permanent move to the Premier League.
Whether Brest believes a top-tier Championship team or a more mid-table team where playing time is more assured will determine which is preferable.
Leeds might be a better fit, though, depending on who they recruit and sell this summer.
Portsmouth’s withdrawal from the race now only increases Sheffield Wednesday’s prospects of making a possible signing.
