Sheffield Wednesday have needed to be patient in this summer transfer window due to Financial Fair Play regulations.

Finances have required the Owls to sell before they can buy, but they have struggled to find suitors for some of their fringe players.

But with Jordan Rhodes heading to Norwich City on loan and Jack Hunt completing a permanent move to Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday could soon kick-start their summer spending.

Jos Luhukay would have already been scouring the market for players who could come in and improve his current options.

If one more player is sold, then Wednesday will be armed with a bit of cash to spend and it will be time to start making moves for new players.

Here are three Championship players who should firmly be on Sheffield Wednesday's radar this summer so that they start competing at the other end of the division.

After missing out on Frederico Venancio, a new centre-back would be good for the Owls.

6ft 4in Norwich star Klose would be a shrewd signing as he is dominant in the air, strong in the tackle and an experienced man at the back.

Aston Villa are in much worse financial bother than Sheffield Wednesday and Luhukay should take advantage of this by launching a move for Hourihane.

The Republic of Ireland international offers plenty of running in midfield and he does the defensive work as well as contributing with goals.

Blackburn star Dack contributed with a remarkable tally of 18 goals last season.

The attacking midfielder, who can play as a striker, is a top attacking talent and Sheffield Wednesday could do with his services.
