Danny Rohl set to reunite with Wrexham AFC Striker at Sheffield Wednesday this summer as they complete deal for Wrexham AFC Striker
Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl will have to oversee a really positive summer transfer window if he wants his Owls side to be competitive next season.
Sheffield Wednesday currently have a number of players out of contract this summer, and seemingly very little resources to rebuild the team.
It may be that the Owls are forced to rely on free agent and loan signings once again. Though Rohl may well be looking towards some of his contacts in the game in a bid to bring new names to Hillsborough.
Rohl has the likes of Southampton, Red Bull Leipzig, and Bayern Munich on his club coaching CV and after doing so well with Wednesday, certain names may be keen on reuniting with the impressive German coach this summer.
Here we look at three players who are out of contract this summer and who Rohl could potentially reunite with…
Southampton goalkeeper Alex McCarthy is out of contract this summer, and already being lined up for a summer move.
He’s eyed by several Premier League teams including giants Liverpool and Newcastle United, as well as Celtic, though whether or not the one-time England goalkeeper would fancy seeing out his career as a no.2 remains to be seen.
McCarthy, 34, has returned to the staring XI with Southampton in recent weeks, playing in the last six games and keeping two clean sheets.
Sheffield Wednesday are in need of a new goalkeeper this summer with James Beadle’s loan finishing, albeit with Wednesday wanting him back, and Cameron Dawson leaving.
Rohl and Oliver Burke worked together at Red Bull Leipzig, albeit briefly with the pair moving onto new clubs soon after they arrived in 2016.
Burke has just spent the season on loan with Birmingham City where he received mixed reviews after featuring 21 times in the Championship without scoring or assistsing.
He’ll no doubt leave parent club Werder Bremen again this summer, either on loan or permanently, and he could be yet another player who finds form under Rohl.
Burke, formerly of Sheffield United, has shone in the Championship with the likes of West Brom and Millwall before, also being a very versatile player who can play on either flank or even as a wing-back.
Burke still seems like a diamond in the rough despite a tough spell with Birmingham City, and Rohl could be the man to rediscover his form.
