Sheffield Wednesday & Sheffield United tranfer deadline day latest
Key Events
- DONE DEAL: McAtee joins Blades
- DONE DEAL: Jeff Hendrick joins Owls
- DONE DEAL: John Buckley moves to Wednesday from Blackburn
That’s it for deadline day
United got sorted out early in the day but not early enough for James McAtee to play tomorrow against Everton and bar the departure on loan of Louie Marsh that was all the business at Bramall Lane.
Wednesday left it very late but they finally got sorted just before the deadline with Jeff Hendrick and John Buckley arriving to bolster the midfield.
Now, with not a league point between either side, the focus is all on the pitch from now on... until January anyway
And another for Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday have completed the signing of Blackburn Rovers midfielder, John Buckley, on a season-long loan.
Wednesday finally get one done
It’s been a long day covering Sheffield Wednesday, but they’ve finally announced a deadline day signing with Jeff Hendrick coming on board from Newcastle United.
The Star reported earlier this week that the Owls had submitted an offer to take both Hendrick and his teammate, Isaac Hayden, on loan for the 2023/24 season, and though at one point it looked like it was the latter who was closest to joining it has turned out that Hendrick was the one who completed a move.
An expected departure at United
As we reported earlier (and earlier in the week) Louie Marsh has moved on loan, with the youngster making the short journey to Doncaster Rovers. However, aside from that news, he’s also signed a three-year-deal with the Blades.
Buckley deal close
Sheffield Wednesday are closing in on the loan signing of 23-year-old Blackburn Rovers midfielder John Buckley after a remarkable deadline day turnaround, The Star can exclusively reveal.
There could be one on his way from Hillsborough
Sheffield Wednesday are in discussions over a possible deal that would see Marvin Johnson leave the club on loan.
Buckley back on?
The Star revealed earlier today that Championship rivals Swansea City had launched a bid in the region of £3m to take Buckley on a permanent deal and that the midfield technician was expected to make the move, leaving Wednesday’s interest on life support. However there’s been a twist.
United got what they wanted today
Paul Heckingbottom is hoping to avoid any late transfer drama ahead of tonight’s 11pm deadline after insisting everyone at Sheffield United “is on the same page” when it comes to player sales. United have made 10 summer signings, with James McAtee’s loan arrival the latest and probably last.
