As the January transfer window looms, Sheffield Wednesday could benefit from keeping a close eye on Birmingham City midfielder Tahith Chong, who could become available for a move. Despite Birmingham’s struggles in the Championship this season, Chong’s individual performances have been one of the bright spots. However, with his contract situation and potential lack of regular game time, Sheffield Wednesday should consider making a move if the 23-year-old is available.
Chong joined Birmingham on loan from Manchester United in 2021 and impressed with his pace, creativity, and technical ability. This season, he has continued to show flashes of brilliance, often being one of the most dangerous players for Birmingham in attack. His flair, vision, and ability to drive with the ball have seen him deployed in a variety of positions, from attacking midfielder to winger. Despite these contributions, Birmingham has often struggled to find consistency, and Chong’s future at the club remains uncertain.
For Sheffield Wednesday, who are fighting for promotion in League One, Chong represents an exciting opportunity. The Owls have a solid squad but could benefit from adding a player with the pace and creativity that Chong offers, especially in attacking areas. With the potential for an affordable transfer or loan deal in January, Chong would add a new dimension to Wednesday’s attacking play and could form an important partnership with the likes of Josh Windass or Lee Gregory.
Moreover, Chong’s experience in the Championship, combined with his desire to prove himself, could bring a fresh energy to Sheffield Wednesday’s squad as they push for a return to the second tier. His ability to beat defenders, create chances, and contribute to goals could make him a vital asset in the second half of the season.
If Birmingham decides to let Chong go in the winter window, Sheffield Wednesday should act quickly. With competition for his signature likely to be fierce, this is an opportunity the Owls cannot afford to miss.
