Sheffield Wednesday could drop the £0 star who earns more than Musaba

Sheffield Wednesday are no slouch when it comes to things coming through the door at Hillsborough already, with the defense greatly strengthened by the quick-fire additions of Max Lowe and Yan Valery.

Lowe's entry into the fold was somewhat controversial, given his previous loyalty to the Blades, but the Owls won't turn their backs on the prospect of new players to strengthen the squad, especially with the futures of other players uncertain.

Danny Rohl could quickly say goodbye to Dominic Iorfa in the four players, with a new contract that has not yet been agreed upon, while Di'Shon Bernard is facing the end of his contract, who also plays in the heart of the defense.

Iorfa's move away from South Yorkshire is good but it may sting, with the 29-year-old making decent shifts in the Championship every season.

Iorfa's numbers last season

The Wolverhampton Wanderers defender was not always the first name on the team sheet, however, he only made 30 appearances in all competitions at the end, but he was the same hero at the Owls, where times were tough to get to the foot of the league. .

Rohl stood out for the 29-year-old towards the end of the campaign in particular, starting the England U21 international in four of the last six games in the second division, with Iorfa repaying his manager's faith in style. exhibitions.

Wednesday's powerful sixth figure really stood out in his team's semi-final run of the 46-game schedule, as seen in the table above, with ten impressive clearances registered and 11 duels won to close West Bromwich Albion, which is the result. The Owls are looking for a comfortable 3-0 win as a result.

Winning 5.3 duels on average per game in the full campaign, it would be a shame for Rohl and Co to lose such a warter before the 24/25 season, especially when the games are intense and important to win upside down. break up again.

It could be argued, on the contrary, that Iorfa's release should not be a move that Wednesday will regret, however, as the defender's salary is currently a good salary compared to other first-team players, when you check the South Yorkshire club's wage bill with Capology.

Iorfa's salary is Wednesday

The 6 foot 2 defender is pocketing £9.5-a-week on the books on Wednesday this time around, with the likes of Anthony Musaba earning £9k-a-week in contrast, despite 18 appearances last campaign.

Musaba was, without a doubt, the most important player on Wednesday as he made an unbelievable escape from the forward which caused the second team's defense to struggle, as the Dutch midfielder got two assists and even scored his own. the last three league games.

Akin Famewo, who often partners Iorfa in defence, will also feel he deserves a payday this summer, earning £7.3k a week, according to Capology, even with 35 league appearances under his belt to Iorfa's 29.

Losing Windass on a free transfer will be a move that could distract Wednesday for a while away from talk centered on the former Wolves man, but when it comes to Iorfa, Rohl and Co could have another entry to add depth, lining up alongside some of the new defenders who call South Yorkshire home.
