Sheffield Wednesday are among the Championship clubs currently operating under a soft transfer embargo, according to The Sun.

Wednesday spent the bulk of last summer unable to register new players after, it was claimed, failing to fulfil a Financial Fair Play commitment deadline.

But the newspaper reports this year’s ban follows the club’s failure to submit their financial accounts on time.

The Owls had been expected to release these to the public imminently.

And the fact that local press outlets such as The Star are claiming some new signings could also arrive shortly, suggests there is little cause for concern within the Sheffield Wednesday fanbase.

Deals are said to have been agreed for the free agent defenders, Moses Odubajo and Julian Börner, with talks underway with the out-of-contract winger, Kadeem Harris.

Meanwhile, The Scottish Sun claimed at the weekend that Sheffield Wednesday are set to match Celtic’s £3 million offer for the Motherwell midfielder, David Turnbull.
