Fox helped Sheffield Wednesday to a fifth clean sheet in six matches.
Several Sheffield Wednesday supporters hope to see a new left-back through the door after Morgan Fox’s performance against Middlesbrough on Tuesday.
Fox helped Wednesday to a fifth clean sheet in six matches – a run in which the Welshman has been an ever-present – but was given an uneasy night by Boro winger Adama Traore.
Reports in Holland claimed the Owls tried and failed to recruit Feyenoord’s Miquel Nelom for the role, with the Dutchman joining Sparta Rotterdam earlier this week.
And Wednesday’s departure of another player in Fox’s position, Matt Penney to Mansfield Town, has given manager Jos Luhukay yet more incentive to strengthen his left-hand side.
The prospect of having to rely on Fox for the next four months is not one that sits easy with the following Owls fans…
Fox only moved to Hillsborough a year ago from Charlton Athletic, and is under contract there until the end of next season.
Where do Sheffield Wednesday need to strengthen ahead of today’s 11pm transfer deadline?
