Sheffield Wednesday managed to bring in a new face on deadline day, as they agreed a deal to sign Middlesbrough winger Adam Reach.

The player cost The Owls a fee in the region of £5 million which could rise to £7 million – as reported by The Mirror.

The 23-year-old did not feature in the plans for Boro boss Aitor Karanka this season and Wednesday therefore decided to swoop.

There is no doubt that the player is very pleased to have made the move to Hillsborough.

He sent this message on his official Twitter account last night, not long after he completed his move to the Owls:

Reach has rarely featured for the Boro first-team but he had an excellent loan spell with Preston North End in the Championship last season – which saw him linked with plenty of Championship teams.

However, the fee that Wednesday have paid for the player has been called into question by many who feel they have overpaid.

Hopefully Reach will be quick to prove himself worth every penny of the investment Wednesday have made.
