Sheffield Wednesday have expanded their international links by tying-up with Finnish third-tier club IF Gnistan. The Owls academy have already given trials to three youngsters from the Scandinavian outfit - Sami Simola, Jan Elf and Lukas Nyback. Gnistan official Sipi Ulvas told the Owls' website: "Sheffield Wednesday are a big Championship club and we are delighted to be associated with them." Wednesday already has similar link-ups in North America, Italy and Australia.
What about when they have finished the academy, some first team football to bridge the gap of stepping up into our first team.
