Seny Dieng has joined Sheffield Wednesday on an emergency loan and is available to make his debut on Sunday against Sheffield United. Dieng joins the Owls for an initial one-week loan. Emergency loans can be extended one week at a time, and Boro are willing for Dieng to stay at Hillsborough for as long as he is needed. He was left out of Boro’s 25-man EFL squad after the January transfer window. The terms of an emergency loan stipulate that the keeper must start every game during the loan period, meaning he will play in Sunday’s derby and also against Norwich City on Wednesday night.

Seny Dieng is expected to join Sheffield Wednesday on an emergency loan ahead of this weekend's Steel City derby against Sheffield United. After reports emerged on Thursday morning that Dieng was a target, it is now understood that a temporary move for the former Senegal international is expected to be completed. Providing there are no issues, the seven-day move is likely to be confirmed on Friday. Dieng would then be included directly in the Sheffield Wednesday team for Sunday's game against Sheffield United and would also be available to play against Norwich City next Wednesday. Emergency loan moves can be extended in seven-day increments. Dieng has not played a competitive game for Middlesbrough since December 2024, having lost his place to Sol Brynn before a serious injury in January prevented him from playing for 10 months. The injury prevented the 31-year-old from leaving in the two 2025 transfer windows. He has been fit since October but has had no first-team involvement for Middlesbrough this season and was available to leave in January.

Sheffield Wednesday are considering Middlesbrough's 31-year-old Senegal international Seny Dieng for an emergency loan deal as a potential replacement for the injured Murphy Cooper. Dieng has been capped 9 times for his country and is no longer a preferred choice at the Riverside, where he is now the third-choice goalkeeper and has not made a league appearance all season. According to reports, a transfer for the goalkeeper to Feyenoord on deadline day earlier this month did not proceed at the final stage. The player has previously attracted interest from other teams, with reports in 2021 linking West Ham to him while he was at QPR. Logan Stretch will play in Sheffield Wednesday's next match unless the club can arrange a deal for Dieng quickly, as they need to sign another goalkeeper. The goalkeeper, who joined Middlesbrough in July 2023, is under contract until June 2027 and has also been linked with Hull City; his current Transfermarkt valuation is €1.20m.
