The Star revealed earlier this week that Wednesday were among the clubs interested in taking on the highly-rated Gunners forward on a loan basis for the rest of the season, with clubs at in England and in Europe having registered their admiration of the Denmark under-21 international.
On Thursday it was confirmed that Biereth would be recalled from a successful loan period at Scottish Premiership side Motherwell to facilitate his next switch, with Wednesday believed to be among the clubs interested. The Star understands the Owls undertook positive talks with both Arsenal and representatives of Biereth with regard to a potential move and that there was optimism that a deal could be done.
That potential deal is not dead in the water and as Wednesday have already seen in the past fortnight the transfer window can move fast. That said, The Star is now led to believe Wednesday are not leading the race to take Biereth on. It is believed that Austrian side Sturm Graz – second in the Austrian Bundesliga table behind RB Salzburg – are among the sides believed to be in a stronger position.
