Sheffield Wednesday are set to complete the loan signing of Brighton goalkeeper James Beadle for a second spell, as per Alan Nixon.

Sheffield Wednesday have carried their momentum from the backend of last season into the summer window so far.

Danny Rohl’s side have been relentless in their pursuit to strengthen their side and the Owls look very exciting heading into the 2024/25 season.

Beadle, 19, spent half of last season on loan at Sheffield Wednesday. He played 19 games for the relegation-threatened Owls and kept an impressive eight clean sheets in the league.

He spent the first part of the campaign with Oxford United in League One. Beadle made 25 third tier outings and kept seven clean sheets.

The Brighton prospect is likely to head out on loan again. The Owls have had interest in re-signing Beadle for well over a month now and the latest update suggests it is all but announced and he will be their latest January addition.

The 19-year-old isn’t yet ready to challenge for a place in Brighton’s first team.

That makes a loan move the most sensible option as he won’t improve not playing and it’s important for the Seagulls to have their youngsters develop and in turn make them more profitable later down the line.
