# Sheff Wed: Darren Moore hails signing of Dennis Adeniran

**Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore has said that he is delighted with the signing of Dennis Adeniran following his debut for the club on Saturday.\**

### The Lowdown: Sheff Wed sign Adeniran

Moore is on the hunt for new signings ahead of next season as the Owls prepare for life in League One.

One player who has [completed](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/breaking-sheffield-wednesday-first-transfer-20999112) a move to Hillsborough is Adeniran, who joined on a free transfer over the weekend after being released by Everton.

The 22-year-old played in Wednesday’s 2-0 win away to Chester City on Saturday, with his debut described as ‘encouraging’ by [Yorkshire Live](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/sheffield-wednesday-player-ratings-chester-21020495)‘s Dom Howson.

### The Latest: Howson provides key update

Speaking to [Yorkshire Live](https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/darren-moore-sheffield-wednesday-adeniran-21020733) after the game, Moore heaped praise on his new acquisition, claiming that he will be a hugely positive addition to his squad. The Owls manager said:

> “I am really, really pleased to have someone of that calibre in there. He is real different to what we have got in midfield.
>
> “He will be a wonderful acquisition for us this season.
>
> “We have been aware of him for a little while. We had a bit of competition for him from the Championship but I made it clear to him that I wanted to bring him here to Sheffield Wednesday.
>
> “I am really pleased to secure him and get him signed and over he line.
>
> “He can play at number eight and play further forward up the pitch. He will bring great energy to us and he has got good quality on the ball.
>
> “In terms of Baz \[Bannan\] and Mas \[Massimo Luongo\], he is very different to those players.”

### The Verdict: Shrewd acquisition for Owls

It is vital that Moore now builds his own team at Hillsborough, injecting his squad with youth and masterminding a return to the Championship.

Adeniran could be someone who makes a difference in the middle of the park, complementing more seasoned professionals such as Sam Hutchinson and Barry Bannan. The youngster has won a total of [22 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/dennis-adeniran/profil/spieler/353147) for England’s under-17s, under-18s and under-19s combined, highlighting his quality and showing why he could be an effective signing.

Given Moore’s comments about him being a long-time target and potentially offering something different, it certainly seems like an encouraging move by the Owls.
