This potential target for Sheffield Wednesday has reportedly arrived in the city ahead of a potential transfer to S6. Duncan McGuire, the striker from Orlando City and the USMNT, had initially flown to England to join Blackburn Rovers but is now said to be in Sheffield aiming to finalize a move to Danny Rohl’s team. According to journalist Alan Myers, McGuire is currently staying in a Sheffield hotel, seeking to complete the transfer to the Owls. If successful, McGuire would be Sheffield Wednesday’s third signing of January, following the loan acquisitions of James Beadle and Ike Ugbo. However, there are suggestions that Sheffield Wednesday might encounter some last-minute obstacles in their pursuit of McGuire, as they now prefer a potential loan arrangement.

Duncan McGuire closing in on Sheffield Wednesday

After appearing destined for Blackburn Rovers, McGuire now seems on the brink of joining Sheffield Wednesday, unless there are any unexpected developments. Time is crucial in this situation.

The Owls must reach an agreement with Orlando City regarding the deal’s terms. Their pursuit of McGuire suggests they have funds available for last-minute January window dealings.

If Wednesday can finalize the transfer, it will be a massive relief for everyone involved: Rohl, the fans, and McGuire himself. The talented striker, who netted 15 goals for Orlando in 2023, has experienced a whirlwind 48 hours, but he appears poised to complete his move to South Yorkshire.
