Oxford United goes to a crucial summer transfer window while preparations are increasing for the 2025/26 season. Although securing the survival of the championship remains the primary goal, there is growing optimism about pushing the table further.
Gary Rowett successfully sent De Geel to safety in an impressive return to the second layer, but both he and the leadership of the club at the Kassam Stadium are aware that more difficult tests are for us. Strengthening the team is essential if they want to solidify their place in the championship.
So far, the Us have only made two signing sessions this summer, but more reinforcements will be needed. Now a new report has emerged when Oxford United insists on one step to sign Callum Paterson on a free transfer, according to the star.
Paterson has no contract with Sheffield since the end of last season. The owls had hoped to keep the shot and believed that he could be tempted to stay when he returned to train with the club in the preseason, even though his contract ends.
However, with the current wage cap Sheffield on Wednesday, Oxford United has the upper hand. There is also rival interest of the ambitious League Two Side MK down.
Callum Paterson can be a very astute signature
With regard to the free transfers, Callum Paterson can be a very fun for Oxford United. He is very experienced in the EFL and also offers a lot of versatility for OUFC.
Paterson played 26 times for Sheffield on Wednesday in the championship and scored six goals for the owls. He still has enough to offer a championship level and would be a very smart pick -up for the Us.
