George Shelvey – 4/7

The 23-year-old, formerly of Nottingham Forest and Dundalk, recently featured between the sticks for the Owls in a pre-season friendly.

Wednesday have been reported to be admirers of the winger, who has been on the books of Rangers since 2021. At 26, he boasts plenty of experience but arguably has a lot more to offer.

Ike Ugbo – 2/1

The forward was a hit with the Hillsborough faithful last season when he joined the Owls on loan from Troyes. The Ligue 2 side have left Ugbo out of their pre-season squad, suggesting he could be on the move.
