Callum Paterson has been informed by Sheffield Wednesday that he is free to depart the club this month. This development could pave the way for a sensational return to Hearts. During his four-year stint at Hillsborough, Paterson has become a fan favorite and played a pivotal role in securing Championship promotion for the club in 2023. Hearts had targeted Paterson in January 2023, but negotiations fell through. With Paterson now in the final year of his contract, Sheffield Wednesday is expected to be open to negotiations if any interested parties come forward.
