Sheffield Wednesday are on the verge of completing a surprise transfer coup, with Manchester United youngster Harry Amass set to join the club on deadline day. The highly-rated 18-year-old left-back has been booked in for a medical at Middlewood Road, as Wednesday push to get the deal over the line before the transfer window closes.
According to reports, Manchester United are willing to cover all of Amass’ wages, making the move an attractive one for the Owls, who have faced restrictions in the market due to ongoing talks with the Club Financial Reporting Unit (CFRU). Up until now, the EFL has blocked new arrivals at Hillsborough, but with rules expected to be relaxed at the final hour, Sheffield Wednesday are preparing to move quickly.
Amass, considered one of United’s brightest defensive prospects, has attracted attention for his composure on the ball and maturity beyond his years. While he has yet to break into Erik ten Hag’s first team, many believe a loan spell could accelerate his development.
A club insider revealed: “Harry has shown incredible promise at youth level, and this move to Sheffield Wednesday could be the perfect opportunity for him to gain first-team experience. We are just waiting for the green light.”
Fans have reacted with cautious excitement, knowing the transfer hinges on EFL approval. One supporter wrote: “Amass is a top talent. If we can get this deal done, it would be a huge boost for our back line.”
If the deal is finalized, Amass will become Wednesday’s first signing of the window, a symbolic breakthrough after months of frustration. For both the player and the club, the move could mark the beginning of a defining chapter.
