Sheffield Wednesday fans will be hoping for a much better 2018/19 campaign after a disappointing season in the Championship.

Rather than a third attempt at the play-offs, Sheffield Wednesday found themselves at the other end of the Championship and sacked Carlos Carvalhal.

His replacement was Jos Luhukay, who had a very slow start to life at Hillsborough, but then results started picking up towards the end of the season and supporters will be hopeful that success can arrive next year.

In order to mount another promotion challenge, the Owls need to strengthen in the summer transfer window but they will have financial restrictions in this close season.

They need to be shrewd with their summer activity to ensure they are well-equipped to compete at the top end of the table.

Here are three players who could well arrive during the month of June as Luhukay starts to sign some players.

Sheffield Wednesday are expected to sign Venancio on a permanent deal after he impressed during his 25 games for the Owls.

The Portuguese defender is reportedly available for a bargain £800k.

Sunderland could lose Honeyman after dropping to League One.

The Owls lead the race for the exciting 23-year-old attacking midfielder and they need to wrap this deal up.

Another creative player who could perhaps join Sheffield Wednesday is Peterborough United's Maddison.

The 24-year-old has been transfer listed for the sake of his own career and after hitting 10 goals and grabbing 21 assists for Posh, he will not be short of suitors.
