Sheffield Wednesday is currently focused on the upcoming season, with manager Danny Rohl keeping an eye on the Championship roster as the 2024/25 season kicks off. The season began with Sheffield United and Blackburn Rovers securing wins, and now Owls fans are looking forward to their first game against Plymouth Argyle.

Despite signing Ike Ugbo from Troyes, there are still some gaps in the Sheffield Wednesday squad that need to be filled before the transfer window closes. One of their key summer transfer targets, Karamoko Dembele, is now close to joining Championship rivals QPR in a deal worth £2.57 million. Dembele, who had an impressive season on loan with Blackpool, is set to undergo a medical with QPR this weekend.

The decision not to pursue Dembele further may be due to the significant amount spent on Ugbo, making additional signings less likely. However, strengthening the central midfield and center-back positions should still be a priority for Sheffield Wednesday. Fans can catch the Plymouth Argyle game live on Sky Sports this Sunday afternoon.

It will be interesting to see how QPR will benefit from Dembele’s skills and whether Sheffield Wednesday’s decision not to pursue him will impact their performance in the upcoming season. As the transfer window deadline approaches, Rohl will need to carefully consider his options to ensure a competitive squad for the challenges ahead. Stay tuned for more updates on Sheffield Wednesday’s transfer activities and season progress.
