Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> are set to complete the loan signing of Liverpool winger Kieran Morrison.<\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday were named in the race to sign Liverpool talent Kieran Morrison earlier this week<\/a>. SWFC have moved swiftly, with The Wednesday Word<\/a> now revealing the winger is indeed set to arrive at Hillsborough.<\/p>\n

Morrison has travelled to the Steel City to seal the move, with Henrik Pedersen<\/a> named as a key factor. Liverpool have been impressed with the Dane\u2019s ability to develop young players, and it was decisive in fending off rival interest.<\/p>\n

Bristol City had shown interest in Morrison<\/a>, as had German side VfL Wolfsburg. However, it is Wednesday that Morrison will head for as he looks to make an eye-catching break into senior football.<\/p>\n

Kieran Morrison signing displays Henrik Pedersen\u2019s value to Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> once again<\/p>\n

After Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>\u2019s relegation, there was some debate over whether Pedersen was the right man to lead the club into this new chapter<\/a>. He had worked admirably and selflessly throughout their crisis campaign, but some wondered whether he could instil the winning mentality needed after a year of so many defeats.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, time will be the judge as SWFC look to bounce back from League One at the earliest opportunity. However, the trust shown in Pedersen from top clubs paints an excellent picture.<\/p>\n

Liverpool aren\u2019t the first side to send one of their brightest young talents to Hillsborough to play under the Dane. Manchester United and Manchester City sanctioned loans for Harry Amass<\/a> and Jaden Heskey<\/a> respectively last season.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the recruitment of like Sil Swinkels, Louie Barry and Harry Gray shows that both promising players and clubs have faith in Pedersen\u2019s coaching abilities. It makes him an asset that can not be undervalued, and it will be hoped more deals of this ilk await in Wednesday\u2019s bright future.<\/p>\n

The Verdict: Another exciting recruit for Sheffield Wednesday<\/a><\/p>\n

Morrison marks another exciting signing for Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>. Not only is he a promising talent, but the extent of interest from elsewhere makes this a bit of a coup for the club in terms of pull.<\/p>\n

We may never know just how serious or advanced Bristol City<\/a> or Wolfsburg\u2019s interest was. Nevertheless, to get a deal done when such clubs are also lurking is impressive for SWFC.<\/p>\n

Kieran Morrison\u2019s Liverpool U21s stats<\/p>\n

Northern Ireland international Morrison has played twice for the Liverpool first-team after starring at youth level. He mainly operates as a right winger but has been used on the opposite flank and in central roles before, be it as a central midfielder or no.10.<\/p>\n

It seems Pedersen is bound to use him on the right flank though. It is a position he has been eager to strengthen, and he now looks to have got his man.<\/p>\n
