Sheffield Wednesday are in a three-horse race alongside Swansea City and Oxford United, in pursuit of a Premier League gem.

Sheffield Wednesday look as though they might soon start on loan signings after making six permanent signings already this summer.

On Wednesday, Sheffield Wednesday announced the signing of Olaf Kobacki, who follows all of Ben Hamer, Max Lowe, Yan Valery, Svante Ingelsson, and Jamal Lowe in signing for the Owls.

Danny Rohl is certainly overseeing positive start to the summer transfer window and more signings are expected, with Charlie McNeill tipped to sign for Sheffield Wednesday after his Manchester United release.

Elsewhere, the Owls are expected to re-sign James Beadle on loan from Brighton, likely becoming the club’s first loan signing of the summer.

Expect Sheffield Wednesday to make good use of the loan market this summer with Premier League youngsters likely the target for Rohl and co.

And now, it’s been revealed that Sheffield Wednesday are in the race to sign one.

Sheffield Wednesday in race to sign Myles Peart-Harris at Brentford

Sheffield Wednesday were first linked with former Chelsea youngster Myles Peart-Harris in January, then again ahead of this summer’s transfer window.

Now, it’s been revealed by Football Insider that Sheffield Wednesday, Swansea City, and newly-promoted Oxford United have all ‘made enquiries’ to sign the attacker on loan this summer.

Peart-Harris, 21, spent time on loan with Portsmouth in the second half of last season, scoring two in 12 League One games as Pompey won the title.

The Englishman is out of contract at Brentford next summer, although the Bees hold the option to extend his stay by further year.

Why Sheffield Wednesday have a clear advantage in Myles Peart-Harris race

Sheffield Wednesday have enjoyed a very promising start to the summer transfer window, with owner Dejphon Chansiri even earning praise from fans for his newfound ambition.

And when it comes to adding yet more players to their ranks this summer, Sheffield Wednesday may have an edge.

The number of signings they’ve already made, the quality of the signings, Rohl and the new positivity surrounding the club will go a long way in attracting players like Peart-Harris, who have multiple options.

Not only that, but Rohl’s attractive style of play could be the decider if the decision on Peart-Harris’ future lies with Brentford, with Swansea potentially a mixed bag next season, and Oxford United likely to be near the bottom following their promotion.

Peart-Harris would add definite depth to the attacking ranks in S6, and stepping up into the Championship following a League One loan spell would really test his mettle.
