Sheffield Wednesday 2025 summer transfers: Every confirmed signing and sale for Danny Rohl's side

Sheffield Wednesday head into the 2025-26 Championship season having faced one of the most turbulent periods in their recent history.

The club has been hit with a three-window transfer fee ban by the EFL, running until January 2027, after repeated breaches of regulations, including failure to pay player wages in three of the past four months.

A points deduction to start the season was expected, though no such punishment has yet been handed out, while the situation surrounding manager Danny Rohl brought plenty of uncertainty before his eventual departure - he has now been replaced by Henrik Pedersen.

The German manager had made his wishes to leave this summer very clear, even missing the beginning of their pre-season, and although he later returned and held clear-the-air talks, his future at the club next season remained uncertain until he eventually left his position last month.

The EFL were said to be in 'advanced discussions' with club owner Dejphon Chansiri over the sale of the club, but talks have run dry in recent days, leaving Sheffield Wednesday with an extremely thin squad.

With several players departing on free transfers and no new signings brought in, other than the emergency loan of Ethan Horvath and the deadline day capture of Manchester United youngster Harry Amass, the Owls are left relying on their academy to plug the gaps.

Youngsters Ernie Weaver, Logan Stretch, Joe Emery, George Brown and Rio Shipston all signed pro terms ahead of their opening-day defeat to Leicester City.

Barry Bannan has signed a new deal after initially becoming a free agent, though his first game of the season saw him sent off as the Owls lost 2-1 to Leicester City.

Wednesday fans deliberately held off entering the away end at King Power Stadium, remaining in the concourse for the first five minutes of the match. This tactic created a conspicuous empty stand, clearly visible on live Sky Sports coverage.

A large banner was prominently featured, reading “SWFC for sale – enough is enough,” signaling deep discontent with owner Dejphon Chansiri.

A plane flew over the stadium with the message “Dejphon Chansiri Out,” adding a dramatic, aerial element to the protest.

The players and staff are continuing to work in difficult circumstances, after a memorable penalty shootout victory over top-flight Yorkshire rivals Leeds United to progress in the EFL Cup, their wait for a first league win of the campaign would continue following a home defeat to Swansea City in late August.
