# Sheffield Wednesday: Owls plotting move for Anthony Glennon

**[Sheffield Wednesday](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/sheffield-wednesday-news/) are considering a move to sign Grimsby Town defender Anthony Glennon in January, according to reports.**

### The Lowdown: Glennon profiled

The left-back arrived at Blundell Park over the summer from Burnley, only this time he put pen to paper on a permanent contract having previously had a [loan](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-driscoll-glennon/transfers/spieler/503683) spell during the 2019/20 campaign.

Despite still having [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/grimsby-town/berateruebersicht/verein/1034) years remaining on his deal, the 22-year-old has been attracting interest thanks to his impressive start to the season, with the Owls keen on bringing him to [League One](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/league-one-news/).

### The Latest: Owls eyeing Glennon

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-sunderland-sheffield-wednesday-and-hull-city-plot-moves-for-anthony-glennon/?amp), Wednesday, alongside Sunderland and Hull City, are all ‘plotting moves’ for Glennon, with the trio on ‘high alert’.

Darren Moore’s side have been ‘making regular checks’ on the full-back ahead of January, with an approach in the winter market looking likely.

### The Verdict: James successor

Reece James will be out of [contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sheffield-wednesday/vertragsende/verein/1035) at the end of the season, and should he not commit to fresh terms, Glennon would be a great replacement at the Hillsborough Stadium.

The Bootle-born talent already has four assists and one goal to his name in all competitions this term, and has been averaging 1.8 key passes and 1.6 tackles per league game ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/373461/Show/Anthony-Driscoll-Glennon)).

Glennon is the first-choice left-back at Grimsby so it won’t be easy to prise him away, but the opportunity to join a team that are challenging to gain promotion two divisions above where he currently is might just be one that he can’t turn down.
