Sheffield Wednesday relief as transfer embargo is lifted

Sheffield Wednesday are no longer operating under a transfer embargo after the EFL lifted the sanction on Friday night.

Wednesday had not been able to make one signing during the summer transfer window, which closed for permanent signings on August 9, after breaching rules regarding profitability and sustainability regulations.

But the lifting of the embargo means the Owls can now sign players on loan before the transfer deadline of August 31, and offer new contracts to players.

“Sheffield Wednesday are pleased to inform supporters that the current transfer embargo imposed by the EFL has been lifted with immediate effect.

“We would also like to thank our loyal fans for their continued support as we move forward together on and off the pitch.”
