Wolves forward Theo Corbeanu joins Sheffield Wednesday on loan
Wolves youngster Theo Corbeanu has signed for Sheffield Wednesday on a season-long loan.
The 19-year-old heads out to the League One side after making his senior debut towards the end of last term, as a substitute at Tottenham.
Wolves' technical director Scott Sellars said: "It’s fantastic for Theo because he had a really good season last year in the under-23s, being successful in terms of assists and goals, which culminated in his debut for the first-team which was great.
“He played international football with Canada in the summer, coming back from the Gold Cup, which was a great experience to play at that level, and we feel now what he needs is minutes at first-team level, so this is the best next step for his development.
“We had a lot of interest in Theo over the last 12 months and we’ve picked a club for football reasons, but also obviously it’s a big club, and the pressure of playing for a big club is an add on for player development, and we think it’ll be good for Theo to hopefully manage and thrive."
Corbeanu joined Wolves' youth set-up from Toronto FC in 2018 and this is his first loan spell away.
Sellars added: “Ultimately, you’re always looking to step up and challenge yourself, and we say to a lot of young players about not finding your level, always be ready for the next level.
"We’re pleased he’s got this opportunity and hopefully it’ll be a really positive loan for him.”
