Sheffield Wednesday's new best XI shows the transfer issues that still need to be resolved

Sheffield Wednesday kickstarted their summer transfer business with the signing of Ben Heneghan this week. The commanding centre-back will officially join the Owls on July 1 when his AFC Wimbledon contract expires.

But Wednesday manager Darren Moore and the club's recruitment team are hard at work trying to get more players in the door ahead of their return to pre-season training on Monday. Yorkshire-born goalkeeper David Stockdale is likely to follow Heneghan to Hillsborough.

As first revealed by Yorkshire Live, Moore has identified Stockdale as the perfect replacement for Bailey Peacock-Farrell. Northern Ireland international Peacock-Farrell returned to his parent club Burnley following the conclusion of the 2021/22 season.

There will be further new additions between now and next month's big kick-off. There are still plenty of gaps in the squad that Moore needs to fill to give the Owls best possible chance of competing for a top-two finish.

Assuming there are no late issues and Wednesday complete the signing of Stockdale, we have had a look at what Moore's best starting XI is for the opening day of the season on the weekend of July 30. It remains up in the air whether Joe Wildsmith, Jack Hunt, Massimo Luongo and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing will sign contract extensions so they are not included for the time being.

Moore will have a big decision to make over his No 1. Stockdale and Cameron Dawson starred at Wycombe Wanderers and Exeter City respectively last season. It is a tough call but Stockdale will probably get the nod in between the sticks.

Central defence is an area where the Owls badly need more strength in depth, despite the arrival of Heneghan. Moore currently only has Heneghan, Dominic Iorfa, Liam Palmer and
