“Should be going the extra mile” – Sheffield Wednesday cast eyes over Charlton Athletic player: The verdict

Looking to bolster their attacking options for another season of League One football, Sheffield Wednesday are considering a summer move for Charlton Athletic’s Jayden Stockley, as per a report from the Sheffield Star. 

The Owls, who have seen interest surface in two of their forwards in Josh Windass and Lee Gregory, appear to be prioritising forward line recruitment at present, with Rotherham United’s Michael Smith also being linked with a move to Hillsborough.

Stockley netted 20 goals in 38 matches in all competitions last season, proving to be an important source of goals for the Addicks.
