Sheffield Wednesday is still monitoring 19-year-old Gabriel Otegbayo, who continues to impress during his trial, as reported by The Star.
Otegbayo recently played a full 90 minutes in a match against Barnsley’s youth team, contributing to a 2-1 victory, which has earned him an extended opportunity with the club’s U21s.
On the other hand, it appears that the trial period for former Sunderland player Ethan Kachosa has concluded. Kachosa, now with Bury, had participated with Sheffield Wednesday’s U21s last week but seems to have moved on.
Otegbayo’s extended trial indicates that Sheffield Wednesday sees potential in him to make a positive impact in their youth academy and potentially progress further. In contrast, Kachosa, with experience in Premier League 2 and U18 Premier League, is now pursuing opportunities in non-league football.
The article also touches upon Sheffield Wednesday’s first-team situation, facing a possible relegation to League One. Manager Danny Rohl, who has brought the team within four points of safety, could face challenges, with several first-team players out of contract in the summer. Despite potential interest from other clubs, Rohl has developed a strong connection with the fans, as highlighted by his passionate involvement in recent victories.
EFL pundit Ryan Dilks expressed his opinion that Rohl should consider leaving Sheffield Wednesday if the opportunity arises, citing potential issues with owner Dejphon Chansiri. The article emphasizes the challenges Rohl faces due to Chansiri’s ownership, limiting his actions in the January transfer window and sparking fan protests.
While Rohl’s future remains uncertain, the article suggests that, despite the difficulties, Rohl may be inclined to stay with Sheffield Wednesday, given his positive relationship with the fans. The upcoming games, including a match against Bristol City, will likely play a role in determining Rohl’s fate with the club.
