Stoke City launch major move to lure Harry Amass away from Sheffield Wednesday | OneFootball

Stoke City have reportedly launched an effort to snap up Manchester United youngster Harry Amass, who is currently on loan at Sheffield Wednesday.

Amass decision looms

Having joined Wednesday during the summer transfer window, Amass has thrived despite the side’s persistent issues both on and off the pitch.

Wednesday are currently languishing at the bottom of the Championship table, with -7 points to their name amidst an ongoing takeover process. The Owls were hit with a hefty 12-point deduction in October after going into administration and were hit by another six-point deduction at the start of last month for further financial breaches.

Despite the team’s woes, Amass has become a reliable starter under Henrik Pedersen, emerging as one of the club’s most consistent and effective players.

Amass was criticised by Ruben Amorim last month, with the United head coach suggesting that the defender was struggling. But Amass’ individual progress proves otherwise.

The Carrington academy graduate has racked up 17 Championship appearances, notching one goal and one assist in that time.

Pedersen has repeatedly spoken glowingly of Amass, declaring his desire to continue working with the England international. There has been uncertainty over Amass’ situation, with United retaining the option to recall him – a scenario that has been floated due to the turmoil at Hillsborough.

A report covered by The Peoples Person relayed that there are multiple suitors lining up to take Amass before the close of the winter window. Wednesday are said to be confident that they will keep the 18-year-old, but a final decision has yet to be made.

According to Football Insider, Stoke City have made an enquiry to sign Amass.

Stoke make Amass move

The news outlet claims, “Stoke City have made contact about signing Man United defender Harry Amass in this month’s transfer window, sources have told Football Insider.”

“Stoke have expressed an interest to Manchester United about taking Amass on loan for the second half of the season.”

After a promising start to the Championship campaign, Stoke’s form has faltered, leading the club to seek fresh talent. They see Amass as the perfect player to reinvigorate their campaign.

Whether United responded to the Potters and what kind of answer they issued remains unknown. What’s for certain is that Amass’ future will be decided very soon.
