Danny Rohl has been making significant strides with Sheffield Wednesday’s transfer activities in recent weeks. Sheffield Wednesday announced their fifth signing of the summer yesterday, securing Jamal Lowe on a free transfer after his release from Bournemouth. The club has also added Yan Valery, Max Lowe, Svante Ingelsson, and Ben Hamer to their roster.

According to journalist Alan Nixon, Sheffield Wednesday is set to re-sign 19-year-old James Beadle, with a deal possibly finalized today. Beadle was clearly Rohl’s top priority after achieving the second-highest clean sheet percentage (42.1%) among goalkeepers who played more than two games in the Championship last season. He was comfortably one of Wednesday’s standout players last term, and continuing his role at Hillsborough will benefit both the club and the player.

‘Ongoing’ ‘Increasingly unlikely’ Latest on unresolved Sheffield Wednesday contract talks

Three senior Sheffield Wednesday players are nearing the end of their contracts without having formally resolved their futures. While the club has been proactive in the transfer market, signing free agents Ben Hamer and Max Lowe and acquiring Yan Valery for an undisclosed fee, the fate of Josh Windass, Dominic Iorfa, and Di’Shon Bernard remains uncertain. Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer have secured new deals, but negotiations with Windass have stalled, making his continued stay at S6 increasingly unlikely. Meanwhile, Iorfa has expressed a desire to stay but awaits further clarity on his contract status. Bernard’s decision is also pending, with discussions ongoing as he competes in the Copa America with Jamaica. Manager Danny Röhl is keen to retain Bernard, who quickly became a fan favorite in his debut season at the club.

Sheffield Wednesday are on the verge of securing their third summer signing, with a medical examination scheduled for today, according to The Star. The Owls have already announced the signings of Ben Hamer and Max Lowe, who will join from Watford and Sheffield United respectively at the end of the month. Now, it appears that a permanent deal for Tunisian international Yan Valery is imminent as the 25-year-old prepares for his medical at S6.

Last week, The Star reported that Wednesday had reached an agreement with French club Angers regarding a fee for Valery. Despite interest from Montpellier and Standard Liege, the French-born defender expressed his preference for a return to England, with Owls manager Danny Röhl playing a significant role in his decision to join Wednesday. Valery, a versatile player often deployed as an attack-minded right-back, will bolster the Owls’ flanks, having recorded five assists in Angers’ successful Ligue 2 promotion campaign last season.
