Oxford United news may leave some at Sheffield Wednesday nervous: View

Having completed their great escape to avoid relegation from the Championship to League One at the end of last season, the Owls now look well set to kick on in the coming campaign.

Already in the market, they have added nine new players to the first-team squad available to manager Danny Rohl at Hillsborough.

Meanwhile, other important individuals such as Dominic Iorfa, Josh Windass and Di’Shon Bernard have all put pen to paper on new contracts to extend their stays with the club.

However, it seems that one player who will not be representing Sheffield Wednesday next season is Ovie Ejaria.

Sheffield Wednesday seemingly turned down Ejaria

Earlier this summer, it had been reported that Rohl’s side were taking an interest in the potential signing of Ejaria.

The versatile midfielder is currently a free agent, following the mutual termination of his contract with Reading back in December last year.

It had been suggested that the former Liverpool man had been training with Sheffield Wednesday, while looking to earn a contract with the club.

However, subsequent updates appear to indicate that the Owls have moved on from their interest in Ejaria, after it emerged that he is now on trial with Oxford United.

Given the business they have done this summer, that could be a deal those around Hillsborough may feel they are able to do without.

Even so, there could be an argument that the fact Ejaria may now be able to earn himself a move to the Kassam Stadium, could still be a concern for those connected with Sheffield Wednesday.
