Favourites to join Sheffield Wednesday in January including ex-Liverpool, Newcastle United and Fulham men

Sheffield Wednesday’s summer of recruitment is yet to bear fruit.

The Owls made 12 new signings at senior level, ushering in the Xisco Munoz era following the shock departure of Darren Moore.

However, it has been anything but a seamless transition.

After eight league games, Wednesday are bottom of the Championship with the unwanted tag of the division’s only winless side.
