Sheffield Wednesday are ‘close’ to signing a new goalkeeper, according to their manager, Xisco, who spoke to The Star in
Spain on Saturday.
The Owls boss wouldn’t go into any specifics about the shot-stopper, however there have been links with former loanee,
Bailey Peacock-Farrell, who appears to be falling down the pecking order at Burnley.
Wednesday are currently away on a warm weather camp as they prepare for the season ahead, but new goalkeeper coach,
Antonello Brambilla, has only one senior shot-stopper to work with in Cameron Dawson. Academy kids, Luke Jackson and
Pierce Charles, are also present.
That may change before they return home to Sheffield, though, with Xisco saying that the Italian can help improve an
incoming goalkeeper as well.
“Always he improves the keepers,” he told The Star. “Which is one of the reasons why I brought him here. He’s a good
professional, and he gives the goalkeepers what they need to improve.
