The latest transfer updates for Sheffield Wednesday ahead of their return to the Championship.
Darren Moore left his role as manager of the club after failing to agree on new terms with
chairman Dejphon Chansiri over his contract. Xisco Munoz has since taken over at Hillsborough and he
is looking to do what he can in order to make sure his team are fully prepared for their return to the
second tier of the football pyramid.
Here are some of the latest transfer updates for Wednesday ahead of the 2023/24 season.
Sheffield Wednesday had recently been included on the list of potential destinations for Manchester
United midfielder Charlie Savage but their opportunity to sign him has now come to a close. The 20-
year-old has officially joined League One side Reading on a four-year deal
Savage — who was hailed as a “fantastic” player by Duncan Ferguson during his loan spell with Forest
Green last season — also attracted interest from Swansea and Wigan prior to his move to Reading, who
are pushing to build a squad worthy of returning to the Championship next season.
Keeping with transfer rivalry between the Owls and the Royals, David Button is set to depart from West
Brom and the likely destination seemed to be Reading. However, new reports have now linked the
goalkeeper to Sheffield Wednesday, who will switch places with the Royals after gaining promotion to
the Championship, according to BirminghamLive
The report claims that there is interest from both clubs but wherever Button may opt to join, it will
‘likely be on a free transfer.’

We round up all the latest transfer news from Sheffield Wednesday.
It has been a turbulent summer for the Owls since their promotion from League One, with Darren Moore
leaving the club due to a disagreement with chairman Dejphon Chansiri over a wage increase and length
of a new contract.
Former Watford manager Xisco Munoz, who led the Hornets to promotion the Premier League in 2021,
has taken over at Hillsborough, but the Spaniard is yet to bring in any new additions.
The permanent signing of defender Reece James from Blackpool, which was completed before Munoz’s
appointment, is the club’s only bit of business so far this summer and the squad is incredibly light after
the departures of the likes of Dennis Adeniran, Jaden Brown, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Ben Heneghan, Jack
Hunt and David Stockdale.
There is plenty of work for Wednesday to do in the remainder of the window and with under two weeks
until the start of the Championship season, we rounded up all the latest news from Hillsborough.
What is the latest Sheffield Wednesday transfer news?
Sheffield Wednesday interested in David Button
According to Birmingham Live, Wednesday are interested in signing West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper
David Button.
Journalist Alan Nixon claimed that Button had been “cleared to sign” for League One side Reading and
was in discussions about a move to the Select Car Leasing Stadium, but a deal is not thought to be
imminent and the Royals now seemingly face competition for his signature from the Owls.
Button began last season as the Baggies’ first-choice goalkeeper, but he was dropped for Alex Palmer in
October by former manager Steve Bruce.
He was handed another opportunity in the team following Palmer’s injury in January, but he started just
two league games before being replaced by Josh Griffiths.
Despite having a year remaining on his contract at The Hawthorns, Button will likely be allowed to
depart on a free transfer.
