Sheffield Wednesday Line Up New Premier League Move Following Tommi O’Reilly Disappointment – Football Lowdown
Sheffield Wednesday are reported to be pursuing another loan signing from a Premier League club after their proposed move for Aston Villa midfielder Tommi O’Reilly fell through. The club’s need to strengthen its attacking options remains pressing ahead of the League One season, and the new approach suggests they are continuing to target young players available on loan.
O’Reilly, 22, had been a leading target following an impressive loan spell at Crewe Alexandra, where he topped League Two’s assists chart last season. However, Wednesday withdrew from the deal and Notts County are now expected to take him instead, leaving the Owls to seek an alternative Premier League prospect.
- Wednesday seek a new Premier League loan after missing out on O’Reilly.
- Notts County are expected to sign Aston Villa’s O’Reilly.
- The Owls still need attacking reinforcements.
