Sheffield Wednesday are set to announce the signing of Callum Paterson from Cardiff City for a fee in the region of £500,000, as per Yorkshire Live's Dom Howson.

The versatile 25-year-old is set to join to bolster the Owls' attacking line-up with Jordan Rhodes the club's only recognised senior striker at present.

So, what do you make of this imminent signing for the Owls?

The team here at FLW take a look....

Ned Holmes

I can't say I'm particularly convinced by this link if I'm honest.

Paterson has done a job at Cardiff but in my eyes he's not a good enough goalscorer to be a consistent Championship striker.

If the Owls are just looking to bring in more bodies and someone to give them something different then this isn't a dreadful move but it's pretty uninspiring however you look at it.

It's no secret that Wednesday's forward line needs a bit of love and I'm not sure a move for Paterson is the answer.

There are better options out there, so the Owls should move on.

Jacob Potter

I can understand their thinking behind this one.

Paterson has a considerable amount of experience of playing in the Championship, and that's exactly what Garry Monk's side needs at this moment in time.

He's a versatile option to have in any squad as well, and can operate at both right-back and up-front, which would make him a solid addition to the Owls team this season.

If he did sign for the club, then I would expect him to be deployed as a striker though, as Sheffield Wednesday could still benefit from having a player to challenge Jordan Rhodes for his starting spot this season.

Paterson's game time with Cardiff will be limited this season it seems, so a move to Hillsborough will surely tempt him.

Have Sheffield Wednesday ever loaned out any of these 9 players? Have a go now!

Sam Rourke

For that price, he's a really useful addition.

The 25-year-old is one of the most versatile players in English football and is adept playing in defence, midfield or up-front, the latter where he is expected to feature for Monk's men.

There is no denying that the Owls need to bolster their striker options, and for me, although Paterson is a great addition for the squad, they need to ensure they sign a natural, out and out striker also to complement Rhodes.
