The 2017/18 campaign was a huge disappointment for Sheffield Wednesday, who failed to challenge for the top-six.

After back-to-back play-off appearances, Wednesday were tipped by many to be competing for the top-six once again last season, but fell way short of expectations.

Jos Luhukay oversaw the second-half of the season, and after a slow start, was beginning to show major signs of improvement as the season came to an end, as a number of the club’s injured stars returned.

Despite that, Luhukay will want to put his own stamp on the squad he inherited from Carlos Carvalhal at Hillsborough, ahead of next season.

Departures will be expected in the coming weeks and months, but Luhukay will be busy identifying players to come in ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

With that in mind, we take a look at THREE summer deals that Wednesday’s play-off hopes next season could be resting on…

Wednesday are one club linked with the Peterborough United forward, who enters the summer on the back of a fine campaign in League One.

Marriott has bagged over 30 goals in the last 12 months and could help solve some of Wednesday’s goalscoring woes.

Despite having a lengthy list of option in attack, Luhukay will want to freshen up his strikeforce.

The centre-back wants to return to Hillsborough permanently, following a successful season on-loan.

The defender took his time adapting to the Championship, but was beginning to look good towards the end of the season.

Venancio could be a big player at Hillsborough next season.

Glenn Loovens’ departure leaves a hole in central defence, which Batth would be perfect to fill.

Batth has just been part of Wolves’ promotion campaign, but it remains to be seen if he has a future at Molineux in the top-flight.

If he is available, Batth would be a good addition at Hillsborough.
