Burnley goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell is being ‘lined up’ for a second loan spell at Sheffield Wednesday, says Alan Nixon.
Peacock-Farrell, 26, previously spent the 2021/22 season on loan with Sheffield Wednesday in League One. He featured 45 times in League One fixtures as the Owls reached the play-offs, with Peacock-Farrell keeping 15 clean sheets along the way, conceding just 47 goals.
He returned to Burnley upon their relegation to the Champisonhip last summer. The Northern Ireland international went on to play no.2 to Aro Muric but still managed to rack up eight Championship appearances for Vincent Kompany’s side, who went on to win the league title.
Now after Burnley’s promotion to the Premier League and Wednesday’s promotion to the Championship, Nixon has revealed on his Patreon that Peacock-Farrell is being lined up for a loan return to Hillsborough ahead of the 2023/24 season.
