Yan Valery, formerly with Southampton, joined Sheffield Wednesday earlier this month, marking a significant move in the club’s summer transfer activities. Among the eight new additions, Valery is particularly familiar to manager Danny Röhl, with whom he previously worked at Southampton. The transfer, completed early in the month, came at a fee of around £400,000, and Valery signed a three-year contract with Sheffield Wednesday, potentially keeping him at the club until he is 29. This move is part of a broader strategy of securing longer-term contracts for players, both young and experienced. Valery has already donned the Owls’ colors, participating in a pre-season match and gearing up for further training camps and friendlies in Germany and Austria later this month.

Valery expressed his enthusiasm about reuniting with Röhl, stating, “As soon as I knew that Danny wanted me, I just wanted to go back with him because I’ve known him as Southampton assistant coach. He’s the one who was really working on the pitch with the players and with me in my first season. He helped me a lot, and I improved so much with him, so I was really happy to hear from him again and to know that now he was the main manager. It was obviously a no-brainer.”
