Breaking News: Sheffield Wednesday considering swoop for English left-back
According to a report from Football Insider, Sheffield Wednesday is contemplating a potential move for Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill, the left-back from Puskas AFC. The club, under the management of Danny Rohl, is actively seeking new additions this month to strengthen their Championship squad. While two temporary deals have already been secured with James Beadle and Ike Ugbo, the Owls are exploring various options in the transfer market.
The recent report suggests that Sheffield Wednesday has approached Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill, an English left-back currently playing for Puskas AFC in Hungary. With just six months left on his contract, the Owls are now weighing the possibility of bringing him on board. However, competition for Ormonde-Ottewill is apparent, as MLS teams are reportedly showing interest in the 28-year-old defender.
Ormonde-Ottewill, a product of Arsenal’s youth academy, has prior experience in League One with Swindon Town but has spent the last few years abroad, including stints in Holland with Excelsior and FC Dordrecht before joining Puskas AFC.
As his contract nears its expiration at the end of the season, Sheffield Wednesday may offer him an opportunity to return to the English Football League. The potential departure of Marvin Johnson to Ipswich Town could open up a spot for Ormonde-Ottewill as a dependable replacement on the left side.
Nevertheless, the interest from MLS clubs adds an intriguing dimension to the competition for the defender. American teams may be looking to entice Ormonde-Ottewill with an appealing offer to continue his career overseas, while Sheffield Wednesday provides an option for a return to English football.
The outcome of Ormonde-Ottewill’s situation remains uncertain, but it is evident that the former Arsenal player has multiple options to consider.
