How Sheffield Wednesday fans - and journalists - reacted to the signing of Elias Kachunga
and live on Freeview channel 276
Just as The Star’s news that Sheffield Wednesday were approaching a completed deal for Josh Windass began filtering through, the club announced the signing of former Huddersfield Town attacker Elias Kachunga on a free transfer, sending Owls social media into a frenzy.
The Germany-born DR Congo international arrives on a free transfer after his departure from a successful spell at Huddersfield Town, where he celebrated promotion to the Premier League in 2017.

@TomTB1995: Interesting signing Kachunga. Was brilliant in that promotion season for Huddersfield. Can play in different positions as well. Good stuff.
@AlanBiggs1: Elias Kachunga. Now that really has taken #SWFC recruitment up a gear. Recall plugging him when released by #HTAFC. Owls played a very canny game, appearing to look elsewhere. Needs more goals but a Championship promotion-winner of much PL experience
A few negative noises - & certainly Kachunga’s scoring record needs to improve. But nobody scored a lot of goals for Huddersfield during his time there. Saw a fair bit of him & liked the rest; skill, pace, movement etc. Is he hungry to add? Age says yes.

@LeonWobYP: Good to see Elias Kachunga sticking around in Yorkshire. Gave his all for Huddersfield and was a 100 per center. #swfc #htafc
@_JoeDavison: Kachunga wouldn’t have been a player I’d have wanted, but nonetheless I’m happy with that. Welcome lad
@NickJames1988: Wednesday Fans: Sign an attacker! *Signs Kachunga* Wednesday Fans: No not that one! #SWFC

@Caulkett92: Rhodes windass and Kachunga to get us the goals to stay up ? For me no ! Another forward needed desperately. In any one else’s team those 3 are nothing but squad players which is what we needed let’s hope that’s all they are.
@SheffWedWOTMT: Windass and Kachunga are two positive signings. Looking better. Hope we can recruit a bigger, physical striker to give us options more up front.
