Sheffield Wednesday could target free agent Alex Pritchard as a potential replacement for the creativity lost after Barry Bannan's departure. The 32-year-old midfielder, whose best position is the number 10 role, has had difficult recent periods at clubs including Birmingham City and Sunderland. It is suggested that Pritchard may need to convince manager Henrik Pedersen and the coaches of his fitness and attitude during a trial period, and that if successful, he could be a fine addition to the squad.
