Sheffield Wednesday targeting a deal for Ipswich Town striker

Sheffield Wednesday are reportedly in advanced negotiations with Ipswich Town over a deal for striker Ali Al-Hamadi.

It's been an extremely hectic summer at Hillsborough with as many as 15 new faces arriving to replenish Henrik Pedersen's depleted squad from the previous campaign.

The Owls have added Mason Burstow on loan from Hull City to strengthen their forward options and compete alongside Jamal Lowe and Harry Gray for a starting berth, but the club are still keen to add greater firepower.

Joe Crann first revealed Wednesday's interest in Al-Hamadi and talkSPORT's Ben Jacobs has added the two clubs are in dialogue over a deal, which is understood to be a season-long loan.

League One

Al-Hamadi is deemed surplus to requirements at Portman Road following Ipswich's promotion to the Premier League.

The Tractor Boys have sold George Hirst to Stoke City following the arrivals of Emersonn from Toulouse, Daizen Maeda from Celtic, and the permanent capture of Chuba Akpom from Ajax.

Al-Hamadi has made 29 appearances for Ipswich since joining the Suffolk outfit from AFC Wimbledon for £1million in January 2024.

The Iraq international spent the second half of last season on loan at Luton Town in League One, scoring one goal in 14 appearances.

Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping the 24-year-old can recapture the form that saw him reach double figures in consecutive seasons in League Two for AFC Wimbledon.

Al-Hamadi was in scintillating touch during the first half of the 2023/24 campaign, chalking up 17 goals in 29 appearances for the Dons.

The striker featured in this summer's FIFA World Cup as Iraq were eliminated in the group stages.
