Overview
- Football Insider reported on 16 January that Manchester United and Liverpool have opened talks with Sheffield Wednesday over Yisa Alao.
- The Star, via Yahoo Sports, added Chelsea to the list of suitors, with all interest reported rather than confirmed by the clubs.
- Alao has progressed from the academy to the first team this season, debuting at 16 and making four senior appearances including a full FA Cup outing versus Brentford.
- Fotmob data from the Brentford match credited him with three interceptions, three recoveries and one tackle in 60 minutes.
- Sheffield Wednesday are in administration and face likely relegation after earlier contract constraints with the player, factors that could lead to a sale.
