McGeady having medical at Sheffield Wednesday ahead of move - reports

The Owls are one of two Championship clubs who have agreed terms with the Everton winger.

AIDEN MCGEADY IS reportedly undergoing a medical at Sheffield Wednesday this evening ahead of a possible loan move.

The Ireland winger has featured just once for the Toffees this season, in the Capital One Cup back in August, and is set to leave in search first team football with Euro 2016 four months away.

La Liga side Sevilla were linked with the 29-year-old earlier this week but Everton boss Roberto Martinez has revealed that two Championship clubs have agreed terms.

“It seems very close,” said Martinez. “We’ve agreed terms with two teams in the Championship. It’s just a matter of time before one of the deals is clinched.

Aiden needs to play and it’s a really good opportunity for him to do that in a very demanding fixture list for a team that can get a really good tempo into Aiden for the Euros.

“That will make sure he comes back having had a good period of football and of having an impact for whichever team he joins.”

And both Sky Sports and local reporter Dom Howson are reporting that McGeady is in Sheffield tonight.

The Owls, who lost 3-2 to Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup yesterday, are currently seventh in England’s second tier.

    That’s a bit more realistic than Sevilla! Hopefully he’ll get some game time

    Alan judge at 3/1 has to be a serious bet to make the Squad for the Euros now.

    He’s simply not good enough on a consistent basis otherwise he wouldn’t be dropping down a division. I like McGeady but wouldn’t have him in my first 11

    Good move for him, really needs to play so that he’s good off the bench at the Euros.

    I really struggle to see how he could be defined as quality. If he were quality, he wouldn’t be moving to the Championship. Never understood the fuss about McGeady.

    He’s shown before that he’s willing to go abroad.I guess this time there weren’t any European clubs interested. You also need to consider his wages. The only continental sides that could afford them won’t need him.

    He played very well for Ireland when played in the last qualifying campaign. Shame he couldn’t get any game time at Everton when, for me, he was playing his best football for Ireland.
    Main thing is he’s getting game time.
    I feel Spain would have suited his style more but once he’s playing regularly I think O’Neill will bring him to France

    Probably true but on a loan deal surely they would just pay a percentage of his wages? Either way, hope he gets plenty of game time
