Sheffield Wednesday have ‘revisited their interest’ in a Premier League youngster.
With Lee Gregory leaving the club and Ike Ugbo returning to Troyes, Sheffield Wednesday are targeting a major overhaul of their attack.
The Owls had the second-lowest goal tally in the entire Championship last season, with Ugbo proving to be their only success after joining on loan in January.
While the club are eager to re-sign the Canadian this summer, they are now exploring other options too.
Sheffield Wednesday back in the race for Mike Biereth
While there will be some new names on the list, Sheffield Wednesday have reportedly considering a second attempt at signing Mike Biereth.
Writing on X, journalist Alex Miller said: “Understand Wednesday have revisited their interest in #AFC striker Mika Biereth. Danish u21 int did v well on loan with Austrian double winners Sturm Graz – one of many clubs keen. Will be competitive battle if Arsenal do move him out.”
After impressing with Arsenal U23s, Biereth was sent out on loan to Motherwell for the first half of the campaign.
The striker netted six goals and provided five assists in only 14 matches, before the Gunners recalled him to the Emirates Stadium.
Wednesday were eager to bring Biereth to Yorkshire in January, but eventually missed out on him as he signed for Austrian club Sturm Graz, where he claimed seven goal contributions in 15 games.
After impressing with 24 goal contributions in 37 games all season, Wednesday are one of a number of clubs eager to snap him up on loan again this summer.
The Owls could have an unstoppable attacking duo next season
It is believed that Arsenal could look to extend the highly-rated forward’s contract and will want to send him somewhere that can help develop and grow the youngster.
With James Beadle, Ike Ugbo and Ian Poveda all enjoying brilliant loan spells at Hillsborough this year, Danny Rohl’s impact on the team could be enough to convince the Gunners.
Whether Biereth’s arrival will depend on Ugbo’s situation is unclear, but the Owls would be in a much stronger position if they managed to bring both of them in.
The pair have scored a total of 26 goals this season and would really allow the club to push on for that top half finish that Rohl hopes for.
