Sheffield Wednesday Agree Deal for US Teenager Pedro Guimaraes
Sheffield Wednesday have agreed a deal to sign highly rated 17-year-old left-back Pedro Guimaraes from Orange County, in an exclusive move as the club begin plans to reshape the squad.
The agreement has been sealed on a first-team deal, underlining the Owls’ belief in the young defender’s ability and long-term potential. Despite his age, Guimaraes is viewed as ready to step into senior football, with Wednesday confident he can adapt quickly to the demands of the English game.

The move comes at a significant moment for the club, following the departure of captain Barry Bannan. With a new era beginning at Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday are already working to reinforce the squad and inject youthful energy into key areas.
Head coach Henrik Pedersen played a central role in pushing the deal over the line. Sources indicate Pedersen personally assured the player’s representatives that Guimaraes will be given guaranteed game time, outlining a clear pathway into the first team rather than a gradual academy-based transition.

Guimaraes has impressed in the United States with his athleticism, defensive awareness and ability to contribute going forward from left-back. His performances attracted interest from multiple clubs, but Sheffield Wednesday moved decisively to secure his signature.
An official announcement is expected soon, with Guimaraes set to join up with the Owls as they continue preparations for the new season and lay foundations for the future.
