Blues Closing in On Former Owl Penney
Sunday, 27th Jun 2021 19:37

Town are closing in on the signing of Sheffield Wednesday left-back Matt Penney.

According to the EADT Penney is set to join Paul Cook's Town revolution and we understand that is the case with the deal likely to be confirmed on Monday along with the signing of Salford keeper Vaclav Hladky, who TWTD revealed is close to joining the Blues earlier this afternoon.

The 23-year-old, who can also operate in wide midfield, is out of contract having left the Owls at the end of the season having made 10 starts and five sub appearances during 2020/21.

Chesterfield-born Penney had been with Wednesday since he was eight years old, although spent time on loan at Bradford in 2016/17, Mansfield in 2017/18 and in Germany with St Pauli in 2019/20.

In total, Penney made 22 starts and 10 sub appearances for the Owls without scoring.

Beginning to have good feelings about how we are moving forward. Like most of us I know nothing about Penney but he's young. The difference now seems to be we are after young, hungry ambitous players. For years we had a backbone of players on good contracts who were safe. I wonder how much influence they had & it seems now they've gone there's a different atmosphere. New brush and all that.

Cadiar added 10:08 - Jun 28 Just a stupid thought re incoming players. Phoenix R had Drogba for a season. Couldn't they sign Gio d S, loan him to us for a season & pay the bulk of his wages. We could develope him into a good player.
