Sheffield Wednesday’s prospective buyers in talks over partial lifting of transfer ban before next deduction

• Wednesday are under a transfer fee embargo until 2027

• Arise hope takeover will be approved by end of season

Sheffield Wednesday’s prospective new owners, Arise Capital Partners, are in talks with the EFL over a partial lifting of the club’s transfer ban this summer.

Wednesday are currently under a transfer fee embargo, which prohibits them paying any money for new players until January 2027, as a punishment for the multiple late payment of wages by former owner Dejphon Chansiri.
