Former Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom could hand Wednesday a killer blow in the summer transfer window, with Preston North End showing interest in one Owls man.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sheffield Wednesday\u2019s<\/a> uncertainties continue to linger as hopes remain of a takeover of the club.<\/p>\n

At this point, an agreement has been reached with at least one prospective buyer for Sheffield Wednesday<\/a>. Such news means that Dejphon Chansiri\u2019s reign is likely to draw to its conclusion<\/a> soon, although nothing is confirmed.<\/p>\n

Despite the positive sale updates, issues remain at Sheffield Wednesday regarding the players and uncertainties over their future.<\/p>\n

Ongoing financial difficulties at the club have led to a fire sale, with Anthony Musaba moving on to Turkish side Samsunspor<\/a>, whilst Djeidi Gassama looks set to join Rangers.<\/p>\n

The next Sheffield Wednesday player to attract concrete interest is a key defender, with former Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom keen to bring him to Preston North End.<\/p>\n

Per Alan Nixon on Patreon<\/a>, Preston North End are reportedly interested in snapping up Sheffield Wednesday defender Max Lowe.<\/p>\n

Preston have already acquired Pol Valentin after he was let go by Sheffield Wednesday following the conclusion of the 2024\/25 Championship season, and former Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom is keen to reunite with Lowe.<\/p>\n

Nixon suggests that Preston North End would take Lowe if a \u2018sensible fee\u2019 is quoted by Sheffield Wednesday, and based on the lowly sum of \u00a32.5m that Dejphon Chansiri accepted for Djeidi Gassama, it would be expected that he won\u2019t high-ball for the Owls defender.<\/p>\n

After a summer of turmoil regarding missed payments to Sheffield Wednesday players and staff, it is no surprise to see fellow Championship clubs taking advantage of the current situation in S6.<\/p>\n

Several key figures in the Sheffield Wednesday camp have hit breaking point \u2013 Josh Windass handed in his 15-day notice, for example, and he wouldn\u2019t have been the only one to do so.<\/p>\n

The imminent sale of Djeidi Gassama has surely alerted clubs that Sheffield Wednesday are not in a position to hold out for high offers, especially with the debts that Dejphon Chansiri has accumulated.<\/p>\n

All Sheffield Wednesday fans can now hope for is that, not only is a takeover completed, but is done so in a swift fashion to ensure that several key players can be kept at the club.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom could hand Wednesday a killer blow in the summer transfer window, with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262630,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,64536,393,4884,1620,21069,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-262629","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-dejphon-chansiri","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-sheffield","13":"tag-sheffield-wednesday","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114848209628129370","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262629","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262629"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262629\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262629"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262629"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262629"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
