Wood Set to Leave Wednesday - Ipswich Town News
Sheffield Wednesday central defender Richard Wood is set to leave Hillsborough for another Championship club before the Blues face the Owls in Saturday’s live Sky game at Portman Road (KO 5.20pm). Town are one of a number of clubs to have been linked with a move for transfer-listed Wood.
Town targeted the centre-half close to the end of the transfer window, but Coventry City are reported to be the favourites for his signature with a proposed move to League Notts County appearing to have fallen through.
Wednesday manager Brian Laws confirmed his player’s impending exit but refused to reveal the club involved: "I expect something to happen within the next 48 hours."
The Owls hope to bring in two loan players with the funds raised from Wood’s exit initially on loan but with the move being made permanent in January.
Football League clubs have until Thursday 26th November to bring in players on so-called emergency loans.
Meanwhile, Town’s reserves are in action against Luton at Kenilworth Road this afternoon (KO 2pm).
