Sheffield Wednesday fans will be hoping for major improvements next year after a disappointing campaign in 2017/18.

Early season promotion hopes were soon dashed as Sheffield Wednesday plummeted into the lower half of the table, forcing them to sack manager Carlos Carvalhal and replace him with Jos Luhukay.

Although Luhukay started slowly, the results did pick up towards the end of the season, ensuring the Owls were not dragged into a serious relegation battle and providing hope that their form can continue into next season.

An important summer lies ahead then for Sheffield Wednesday as Luhukay looks to shift some deadwood to generate some funds and free up some space for better players to come to Hillsborough.

Here are three realistic signings that Luhukay could make to get the ball rolling this summer and get Sheffield Wednesday fans excited about the upcoming season.

Clark is available for a small compensation fee at the end of the month when his contract at Hull runs out.

The 22-year-old is young, attack-minded and an upgrade on Morgan Fox at left-back.

Wednesday fans are desperate for Venancio to return.

The 25-year-old Portuguese centre-half was solid on loan at Hillsborough last season and he will only cost a bargain £800k, if reports are to be believed.

Maddison could add an extra creative spark in midfield - something that has often been lacking.

With 21 assists and 10 goals for Peterborough United last season, there is no doubt that the 24-year-old could step up to the Championship.
