Sheffield Wednesday hold an interest in Tom Pearce at Wigan Athletic heading into transfer Deadline Day tomorrow. 

Harry Pickering was a target for the struggling Owls but it has been reported that the Championship side are set to miss out on a deal for the left-back.

Yorkshire Live now report that Pearce has emerged as a late target for Wednesday and they could well make a move for the 22-year-old as they look to solve the left-back issue that remains following Morgan Fox's summer departure.

Quiz: Who has done more of these 15 things out of Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United?

Pearce came through the ranks at Leeds United and played first-team football for the Whites under Paul Heckingbottom and then briefly Marcelo Bielsa.

However, a loan to Scunthorpe United followed, before Pearce ended up with Wigan.

He has made 34 appearances for the Latics, with 26 of those coming in 2020/21.

Wednesday fans are, understandably, hoping for a busy 24 hours in the transfer window given their precarious position in the Championship table.

Many are concerned that Pearce is a poorer alternative to Pickering, whilst others want to see a striker prioritised.

There was some positivity surrounding this emerging news, but the reaction was very mixed.
