Even though the gangly midfielder had a few standout displays, his career with the Owls never really took off. In his two seasons with Wednesday, he made a total of 42 appearances before being sent on loan to Charlton Athletic in January. He was released together with Ciaran Brennan, George Byers, Juan Delgado, Lee Gregory, and Reece James, the other five senior players on the retained list from last month.
Wycombe Wanderers are reportedly eager to recruit Bakinson this summer as they prepare for a new chapter in their history under the ownership of affluent Kazakh Mikheil Lomtadze. According to Football Insider, a different League One team has expressed interest in 25-year-old Leyton Orient, who is a free agent.
Lee Gregory and Reece James, the two departing Wednesday players, have already decided where they will play football next season: Gregory will play for Mansfield Town, while James has signed with Rotherham United. Many clubs are interested in George Byers.
While negotiations for a new contract for Josh Windass are reportedly progressing, the futures of five senior players who were given new deals at S6 are still unknown. While negotiations are still continuing on with Dominic Iorfa and Di’Shon Bernard, it seems unlikely that Will Vaulks will reach a deal anytime soon. Liam Palmer and Barry Bannan have reached new agreements. The team is expected to lose Cameron Dawson.
