Sheffield Wednesday have spent their share of money this summer.
Sheffield Wednesday fans are enjoying an unusually positive summer transfer window so far.
Last week, Sheffield Wednesday signed Ike Ugbo in what was their 10th summer signing.
It’s reported that the Owls have paid £3million for Ugbo, whom they’ve been chasing all summer.
Owner Dejphon Chansiri has been a very controversial figure among Owls supporters in the past several years.
But this summer, Chansiri is earning praise for his positivity and ambition in the transfer market, and for also securing a new three-year contract for Rohl.
As well as Ugbo, Sheffield Wednesday paid £400,000 for Yan Valery, and per reports, £600,000 for Olaf Kobacki.
But where do Sheffield Wednesday rank in the Championship spending table this summer?

Where Sheffield Wednesday rank in the Championship spending table this summer
Unsurprisingly, it’s one of the relegated Premier League teams who top the Championship spending table so far this summer; Burnley.
Scott Parker’s side have spent a staggering £36million so far this summer, with half of that on new striker Mike Tresor from Genk.
Leeds United are in 2nd with an expenditure of £17.75million this summer, with Coventry City in 3rd with £12.75million, and Middlesbrough in 4th with £10.58million, per Transfermarkt.
Sheffield Wednesday meanwhile rank in 9th with an expenditure of £4.1million so far this summer; just behind Sheffield United in 8th who’ve spent £5.34million.
Ugbo is one of Sheffield Wednesday’s most expensive signings, and the most expensive since Joost van Aken in 2017, with this summer being the club’s biggest summer spending spree since 2017 also.
Sheffield Wednesday could be ready to spend some more money
Seeing Chansiri dip into his pockets is great for Sheffield Wednesday fans.
The last few years have been very challenging both on and off the pitch, but there appears to be much brighter times ahead with Rohl at the helm.
And even if Rohl is eventually poached by a Premier League team, Chansiri will have learned a lot from the German’s tenure, and will hopefully avoid falling into his old habits.
The summer transfer window closes on August 30th and Sheffield Wednesday could yet spend some more money.
Sheffield Wednesday are keen on Loreintz Rosier and Fortuna Sittard; he’s under contract until 2025 and so he’d cost a transfer fee.
And there’s other names linked with the Owls, who look set to be active in the final two weeks of the window.
Chansiri must manage his spending though, and ensure that his side have some resources for January too.
