Sheffield Wednesday manager Brian Laws has agreed a deal with Chelsea to sign the highly-rated midfielder Jimmy Smith on loan.
The 21-year-old is expected to pen a deal that will keep him at Hillsborough until January 10 2009.
Laws told the Owls' official website: "I'm really pleased to be getting the services of Jimmy Smith on board.
"He's a high-energy player with an abundance of natural talent and I'm extremely confident he can make a difference to our midfield.
"Obviously, Jimmy has had an excellent grounding at Chelsea and he also has the benefit of already having played Championship football with QPR and Norwich."
