Sheffield Wednesday have made a strong start to the 2026/27 summer transfer window as they look to secure an instant return to the second tier of English football.
The Owls are looking to put an extremely worrying couple of years behind them under new ownership after US consortium Arise Capital Partners gained full control of the club.
An agreement for David Storch to take over at Hillsborough was officially announced in May, meaning Wednesday avoided the prospect of having to start the new season with a 15-point deduction, having previously been docked 18 points ahead of their 2025/26 Championship campaign.
The new owners have got straight to work on investing in the squad and with over a month to go until the League One season gets underway, Sheffield Wednesday have already made a number of new signings.
From the permanent capture of experienced goalkeeper Joe Lumley to the loan signing of Leeds United striker Harry Gray, additions have already been made across most positions as the squad goes from strength to strength.
Thursday 9th July was a significant day for Sheffield Wednesday as club legend Barry Bannan returned to the club and talented Aston Villa forward Louie Barry put pen to paper on a four-year deal.
There is certainly renewed optimism around the club and Henrik Pedersen's side are among the favourites to be win promotion next season.
