What are the latest updates on Pompey's summer transfer targets?
The latest Pompey News. Updates every day from the Pompey Sound News Desk. Here's the Pompey News for the 24 hours from 5pm on Wednesday afternoon to 5pm. No, I'm lying, Thursday 5pm until Friday 5pm. Pompey's recruitment staff are hard at work looking at options for the summer window, they're almost certain to be tracking a Sheffield Wednesday midfielder. Svante Ingelsson has featured 35 times in the Championship for the Owls, contributing one goal, with the team already officially relegated to League One for the next term. The Yorkshire outfit have been docked a total of 18 points by the EFL this year as part of their financial issues, which include being in administration since October. A new preferred bidder has been named, with David Storch set to take over the club, providing some light at the end of the tunnel for supporters.
However, a change in ownership won't completely erase the transfer restrictions currently placed on the club. The summer transfer window could still prove quite tricky under the Storch ownership, and Inglesund's future at Hillsborough has been a point of contention in recent months. Henrik Pedersen has confirmed that Sheffield Wednesday hold an option to extend Inglesund contract by a further year. The Dane has praised the impact the 27-year-olds had on the squad this season, even with the team struggling for any kind of results, winning just one of their 37 games in the championship. Yes it's still possible to extend his contract, said Pedersen, via the star. Svante for me he's a culture player.
He is the guy the others can look at, and wow, he's not always speaking, but he's always showing what he's doing, and he's working amazing for our team. He's a strong strong human, and he's a very strong player for us. He's a strong leader for us. While Sheffield Wednesday have not officially extended Ingleson's contract by another year, it is a move that the club will surely look to make given his importance to the team. The midfielder has proven himself as an important part of the Owls squad, and this has led to transfer interest from a number of second-division rivals. It was reported during the January transfer window that Millwall Portsmouth and Stoke City were all interested in Inglesund, but a deal failed to materialise before the market shut.
How is Sheffield Wednesday's financial situation affecting player transfers?
West Brom were also credited with an interest in the 27-year-old during the winter window, with the player ultimately remaining at Hillsborough. Ingleson featured for all 90 minutes as Sheffield Wednesday ended their long-losing run on Tuesday night. The Owls had lost 13 in a row in the league prior to drawing 1-1 with Watford, where a 90th-minute equaliser from Vivaldo Semedo gave Ed Stills' side a point. So by all accounts, this gentleman midfielder is a solid championship level. Sheffield Wednesday naturally are talking him up because if they're going to sell him, they want to get the best possible price. Whether or not there are two or more or less other clubs besides Pompey who've expressed an interest.
In him could all be part of the business of talking a player's value up. But if we haven't got the Hungarian Kozhnevsky in our ranks playing for us until Christmas, that means that we'll face the first more than a third of the season a little bit understrength in the midfield department. So he could be somebody that we might be opening out. Well, I say we might be. Michael Eisner might be opening his checkbook for in the summer. Mick Robertson dialed in to us late Wednesday night, aglow with Pompey women's latest surge in performance. Hello Sounders, it's Mick here. I just wanted to come on Pompey Sound just to say a massive congratulations to Pompey women's team because tonight, which is Wednesday night, I think, they beat the top of the table side in the WSL League 2 Charlton.
At the Valley. By two goals to nil. Now the point is, this is a massive win against a side that had only lost once all season, Charlton. And they're winning that league by nine points. They've only conceded 12 goals all season.
