Sheffield Wednesday news

Sam Smith's second-half winner ensured Wrexham rose back into the Championship play-off places with a hard-fought 1-0 win over struggling Sheffield Wednesday. In a game low on quality, Smith's finish just before the hour mark ensured the Welsh side came away with all three points at Hillsborough to go sixth. The Red Dragons are now within eight points of the automatic promotion spots as their push for Premier League promotion gathers pace.

Another transfer window and another highly-rated prospect is on their way to Chelsea. The club's youth policy has struck again, with the west Londoners landing 17-year-old full-back Yisa Alao from financially troubled Sheffield Wednesday. Despite his very limited experience at senior level, the teenager provoked a transfer tug-of-war between three Premier League giants, but it is the Blues who have emerged victorious.

Chelsea are on the verge of completing their first signing under new manager Liam Rosenior, with the Blues set to beat Premier League rivals Manchester United to the signature of teenage sensation Yisa Alao. The 17-year-old Sheffield Wednesday defender has reportedly opted for Stamford Bridge despite heavy interest from Old Trafford, with a structured deal worth potentially over £1 million now close to being finalised between the two clubs.

Sheffield Wednesday have been placed under administration and have been docked 12 points by the EFL, bringing Dephjon Chansiri's ruinous ownership to an end at Hillsborough. The Owls have made a nightmare start to their 2025-26 campaign as they have won just one out of their first 11 league games and are currently placed at the bottom of the Championship. With 12 points gone, their current tally now stands at -6.

Sheffield Wednesday fans have been urged to show their support and help the club survive following distressing news the Owls have been placed into administration. The four-times English champions will now be handed a damaging points deduction, which will leave the club on MINUS six points. The devastating development comes following years of mismanagement from owner Dejphon Chansiri.
