The 25-year-old striker, who Wednesday were interested in signing a couple of seasons back, has been a big player for the Baggies in 2024/25, scoring 11 goals in the Championship as they look to secure a top six finish and reach the play-offs for a shot at returning to the Premier League. Thomas-Asante scored two in three prior to the game against Sunderland earlier this month, however in that game he was shown two quickfire yellow cards that resulted in his dismissal, and he was forced to sit...
Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan hopes to see Ipswich Town promoted to the Premier League - an outcome that would almost certainly mean former club Leeds United missing out. Leeds and Ipswich look set to go head-to-head for the second automatic promotion place, following Leicester City’s commanding 5-0 thumping of Southampton on Tuesday evening. Enzo Maresca’s side need just three points to secure a top-two finish, with that victory virtually condemning the Saints to a play-off place due...

Sheffield Wednesday remain fully focused on the lower end of the Championship table with the relegation battle intensifying week on week.

But the incredible battle at the top cannot be ignored with Leeds, Ipswich and...

Sheffield Wednesday’s battling 2-2 draw at home to high-flying Norwich City was a momentous occasion in the club’s proud history. It was the Owls’ 5,000th league match, with the vast majority of those games having been played at Hillsborough Stadium. It has been Sheffield Wednesday’s home since 1899, just seven years after they joined the Football League in 1892, and the ground has undergone some huge changes in that time.

Will Vaulks was the Owls’ only nominee at the English Football League Awards on Sunday night, and by winning the Player in the Community award for 2024 he made history as the only person to have won it on three different occasions - doing so with three different teams as well. But with that trip to London now done and dusted it’s back to work for Vaulks as he and his teammates prepare for their huge trip to Blackburn Rovers this weekend, and the Wednesday midfielder insists that they’re taking...
Queens Park Rangers recorded a rampant 4-0 win over Wednesday’s automatic promotion-chasing rivals Leeds United to take them to 53 points and into 17th place in the table. It leaves them seven points clear of Birmingham City in the first relegation spot and seals their Championship status for next season. Goals from Ilias Chair, Lucas Andersen, Lyndon Dykes and Sam Field finished the job for the London side, who together with the Owls had spent much of the campaign in the bottom three. Like...
The Owls picked up a huge win over Blackburn Rovers over the weekend, securing a 3-1 victory that saw them climb out of the Championship bottom three and finally take their fate into their own hands. Now, with games against West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland standing between themselves and another season in the second tier, the Wednesday skipper has explained that they’ve ticked one box off on their list of targets – they just need to do the same with a couple more. Bannan, who played his 400th...
One football pundit has been speaking about Sheffield Wednesday and the impact of one of their key man following a huge win on Sunday. The Owls picked up a statement win over relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers, winning 3-1 at Ewood Park to climb out of the bottom three. Danny Rohl’s men now have a palpable chance of survival even if they have a lot of work still to do with two games remaining.

The former Chelsea youngster, brought in on loan from French club Troyes early on in the January transfer window, belted six goals in five matches and grabbed an assist in the seventh as Wednesday blitzed through February and into March. In a 14-game run from his signing, Wednesday did not win a game in which he hadn’t had a direct goal contribution, such was his importance. Fast-forward to the present and Ugbo hasn’t scored in his last eight outings. But his impact has remained amid a shift in...
