3 players who could follow Billy Mitchell to Sheffield Wednesday | OneFootball

Sheffield Wednesday's transfer business is unlikely to stop with the signing of Billy Mitchell from Millwall

Sheffield Wednesday have made a busy start to the summer transfer window following their relegation to League One.

New owners Arise Capital are looking to rebuild the first team squad after completing their takeover of the club in May.

The group led by David Storch have installed a new CEO, David Bruce, and a new sporting director, Simon Wilson.

Wilson has made an immediate impact at Hillsborough, helping to usher in eight new permanent signings, as well as a loan deal for Harry Gray.

And their business is unlikely to end there, with the transfer market still open until 1 September.

Here we look at the players who could follow their latest addition, Billy Mitchell, to Sheffield Wednesday before the window shuts…

Davis Keillor-Dunn

Davis Keillor-Dunn has emerged as a transfer target for Sheffield Wednesday this summer after an underwhelming start to life at Wrexham.

The 28-year-old made the switch to the Red Dragons in the January window, but made just six appearances in the league, all of which came as a substitute.

The forward showed at Barnsley that he is a top League One talent, contributing 31 goals and six assists from 66 appearances in the division.

While the Owls face competition from Leicester City for his signature, there is no doubt that a move for the ex-Barnsley man would be an exciting step for the club.

And given his lack of game time in Phil Parkinson’s side, the Welsh outfit could be open to letting him leave already, which would present Sheffield Wednesday with the opportunity to sign him.

Jamie Vardy

Jamie Vardy is a childhood Sheffield Wednesday fan, which has fuelled speculation of a possible move to the club.

The 39-year-old is currently a free agent following his exit from Italian club Cremonese earlier this summer.

The striker contributed seven goals and two assists in Serie A last season, but it wasn’t enough to keep the team in the top flight, which led to his exit.

It remains to be seen whether Vardy would be willing to take the step down to League One at this stage of his career.

But the door remains open for a possible switch to Hillsborough as long as he remains without a team going into the new campaign.

Tommi O’Reilly

It has been exclusively revealed by FLW that Sheffield Wednesday are in talks with Aston Villa for the signing of Tommi O’Reilly.

The Owls have already completed two deals with the Premier League side this summer, with Louie Barry and Sil Swinkels making the permanent switch from Villa Park to Hillsborough.

And O’Reilly could follow suit, with the two sides in talks regarding a possible loan move for the midfielder.

The 22-year-old has yet to make a breakthrough into Unai Emery’s plans, and has previously gone out on loan to Shrewsbury Town, MK Dons and Crewe Alexandra.

He played 46 times in League Two last season for Crewe, contributing seven goals and 10 assists as the team secured an 11th place finish in the fourth division table.
