Sheffield Wednesday could get ‘a jump’ on contract talks this season given the increased certainty about their divisional status.
For a number of years now the Owls have approached the final months of the season not really knowing which division they were going to be in when the following season got underway – whether that be because of possible relegation or promotion.
This time around, with eight games left to play, Wednesday look likely to be a Championship club in 2025/26, giving them a chance to be proactive when it comes to the players that they do/don’t want to offer new deals to, including somebody like Djeidi Gassama who – despite not being out of contract this summer – is probably deserving of an improved contract.
Speaking on this week’s edition of All Wednesday, we spoke to Owls writer, Alex Miller, about the set of circumstances surrounding the talented Owls attacker, and what he thinks ‘stands out’ about the state of play.
“The situation is an interesting one,” he said. “I asked the question of Danny leading into the derby, and the fact that Djeidi Gassama is not currently in contract talks is not a great shock to me in that – I think Barry (Bannan) said himself – Wednesday tend to deal with their contract talks at the end of the season.
