Luongo made up a very dangerous midfield trio alongside Barry Bannan and George Byers in the second half of the season, and Owls supporters will be hoping that Will Vaulks has enough about him to fill the void left behind by the Aussie.

The Verdict

A player of Luongo's quality would rarely end up in the third tier unless they were relegated from the Championship, and Wednesday would have stayed up in the second tier if it was not for the points deduction that they suffered in 2020/21.

The Owls have also strengthened their ranks this summer with Michael Smith and Michael Ihiekwe on free transfers after they played key roles in Rotherham United's second placed finish last season.

The pressure is on now for Darren Moore to deliver automatic promotion or the board and supporters may begin to doubt his credentials as the manager to take them forward after a difficult few seasons.
