Wycombe Closing In On Humphreys Loan Signing
Wednesday, 21st Aug 2024 11:35

Wycombe Wanderers are closing in on the loan signing of Blues midfielder Cameron Humphreys, TWTD understands.

As previously reported, a number of clubs in League One and the Championship have been eyeing the 20-year-old but Wycombe have always appeared the most likely destination with the player having a close relationship with manager Matt Bloomfield and Chairboys’ head of recruitment Scott Mitchell.

Bloomfield coached part-time with the Blues academy during the latter days of his playing career, while Mitchell was head of recruitment and a coach at Playford Road prior to moving to Adams Park in the summer of 2023.

It’s likely the season-long deal will be confirmed in the next 24 hours and Humphreys could make his debut in Saturday’s home game against Rotherham.

Humphreys returned to training with the rest of the Town squad last week following a thigh injury sustained early in pre-season.

Wycombe ended last season strongly and finished 10th, nine points off the play-offs and will be hoping to be in the shake-up for a top-six place this season.

barrystedmunds added 12:34 - Aug 21 Can’t help thinking a Champion club would benefit him and us more as opposed to league One club. No disrespect to Wycombe and I get the personality connection but I think he’s better than that.

A solid move for Cam. The kid has a ton of potential, and as one of our own we'll always want the best, but to play week in week out in the Championship was always unlikely this season. He's played less than 20 League 1 games, with a chunk of those from the bench, he needs real game time. A season as a starter for Wycombe is better than a season on the bench in a higher league. Good luck CH!

Tractor_Boy_in_HK added 14:30 - Aug 21 Can only loan him to a team that comes in for him with a solid offer, and then only if there's a reasonable opportunity to play and a style that fits the player and our long-term needs. If he's landed at a L1 team, that's because it's the best for him and us. Would rather he be there than play a handful of matches in the Championship.
