After a strong end to the season, Sheffield Wednesday will be hoping that they can put the 2017/18 campaign behind them and continue to surge up the league table next year.

Following two top six finishes in the last two seasons, the Owls were expecting much more this term.

But reality soon set in and a relegation battle was even on the cards at one stage.

Sheffield Wednesday have shown major improvements in recent weeks under Jos Luhukay as he looks to get his side competing at the top end of the table again.

Wednesday fans will be looking ahead to the 2018/19 campaign with anticipation and hoping that a promotion bid can be mounted.

This summer is very important and Wednesday need to bring in some fresh faces and ship a load of fringe players too.

Here are three players that Luhukay should wield the axe on before next season starts.

Fox has shown his defensive weaknesses this season for Sheffield Wednesday and should be moved on.

The 24-year-old should drop down a division to get his career back on track.

Abdi has had a disappointing season at Hillsborough, especially given his injury record.

If the Owls receive a bid for the 31-year-old, they should definitely let him leave.

Rhodes has been a flop at Wednesday despite them hoping he was the 20-goal striker to fire them back to the Premier League.

But given his track record in the Championship, some second tier clubs might splash a bit of cash on the Scotland international as a gamble.
