Championship side Sheffield Wednesday are under a transfer embargo and have been since April.

Chairman Dejphon Chansiri confirmed the Owls are subject to the temporary sanctions at a fans forum on Monday.

BBC Radio Sheffield understands the Hillsborough club are in dialogue with the English Football League.
