The Welsh outfit are backed by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney and have claimed back-to-back promotions after winning the National League in April 2023 before ending last season as runners-up in League Two. With former Sunderland manager Phil Parkinson at the helm, the Red Dragons are now looking to further strengthen their squad with the additions of former Scotland Under-21 international Leonard and the report has suggested they will have to pay around £300,000 to persuade Brighton to authorise the midfielder’s departure.
Owls eye loan move for Gunners prospect
Sheffield Wednesday are facing Champions League competition as they look to secure a loan deal for an Arsenal youngster that impressed in Europe last season.
The Sheffield Star have reported the Owls are ready to ‘reignite their interest’ in Gunners youngster Mika Biereth as he prepares to return from an impressive loan spell at Sturm Graz. Wednesday had made a move for the Denmark Under-21 international during the January transfer window but he opted to join the Austrian outfit and enjoyed a promising second half to the season.

Biereth scored nine goals and provided four assists in 22 appearances for Graz and found the net on three occasions in Europa Conference League ties against Slovan Bratislava and former Ligue 1 champions Lille.
The report suggests the Austrian outfit will look to secure the services of the striker on a season-long loan during the summer transfer window and hope the lure of Champions League football will be enough to persuade him to return for a second spell.
However, they will face competition from Wednesday and a number of other potential suitors from the UK and around Europe. Owls boss Danny Rohl - who was linked with the managerial vacancy at Sunderland - is also said to be pursuing a permanent deal for Ike Ugbo after he played a lead role in his side’s successful battle against relegation into League One.
