Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers and QPR 'eyeing' Dundee goalkeeper Jon McCracken
Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers and Queens Park Rangers are reportedly eyeing a move for Dundee goalkeeper Jon McCracken.
The 25-year-old moved back to his native Scotland in 2024 having found opportunities limited at Norwich City.
He has developed into a key figure for Dundee in the Scottish Premiership and has not missed a single league game this season.
However, his contract is due to expire in the summer and he could be available to snap up as a free agent.
Sheffield Wednesday linked with goalkeeper
According to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, Wednesday are among the clubs looking at the stopper.
The Owls are heading for League One and amid off-field uncertainty, free transfer signings could prove incredibly useful.
However, it has been suggested they face competition from Championship outfits Blackburn and QPR.
Posting on social media platform X, O’Rourke said: “Championship trio Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers and Queens Park Rangers are all eyeing a move to sign Dundee goalkeeper Jon McCracken on a free transfer this summer. McCracken is out of contract at Dens Park at the end of the season.”
Chaos in goalkeeper department
It has been a chaotic season in the goalkeeping department at Hillsborough, where Wednesday have been troubled by injuries.
Pierce Charles has had two lengthy spells on the sidelines and it appears possible he could be the subject of transfer interest at the end of the season.
The Owls have struck loan deals to cover for Charles, borrowing Ethan Horvath, Joe Lumley, Murphy Cooper and Seny Dieng over the course of the campaign.
If the Northern Ireland international is sold in the next window, Wednesday will need to get a replacement through the door.
McCracken has had plenty of exposure to senior football this season and has room to grow at just 25. Although he is uncapped at international level, he has been knocking on the door of the Scotland squad.
