Sheffield Wednesday have decided whether or not they will sign a player who was released by a Championship club.
The Owls are struggling to add new players to their squad this summer due to their ongoing financial problems.
Sheffield Wednesday have been hit with a transfer embargo lasting for three windows.
It means that the Yorkshire club can only bring new players to the club on free transfers or no-fee loans.
Sheffield Wednesday’s recruitment team are working on targets despite this, though one player won’t be joining the club.

Sheffield Wednesday took Mohamed Konate on trial earlier this month, and he has featured in a few friendlies for the Owls.
Alexander Asaba has featured for the Yorkshire club in recent weeks as well.
And it was previously reported that Sheffield Wednesday played an unknown goalkeeper during a recent friendly ahead of a potential signing.
It has now been shared that said shot-stopper was former Hull City player Shea Callister, who was released by the Tigers earlier this year.
However, Callister will not be putting pen to paper on a permanent deal with Wednesday, as Joe Crann has reported for The Star that the keeper’s trial is over and he will now look for another club.
Just an update on this that’s come through this morning, Callister’s trial period with #SWFC has come to an end.
He’ll look for his next chapter elsewhere. Have amended the story. https://t.co/mcQqxIHldT

Sheffield Wednesday player could leave
Sheffield Wednesday have parted ways with a number of stars already this summer.
Josh Windass and Michael Smith are among the big-name exits, but more players could still depart in the next month or so.
It has recently emerged that Callum Paterson is wanted by MK Dons and Oxford United, who have an advantage regarding a deal, given that, unlike Wednesday, they have no wage cap.
Paterson is out of contract right now, so he will leave for free. Barry Bannan is in a similar situation, but his future is less clear.
