Sheffield Wednesday appear set to end interest in forward target as complication now emerges

Sheffield Wednesday’s recent activities indicate that losing Jeremy Livolant isn’t a major setback for Danny Rohl’s squad, considering they’ve already signed Olaf Kobacki and Jamal Lowe. With a robust roster of wide players, the club arguably doesn’t need further reinforcements in that position.

Instead, priorities should shift toward acquiring a striker, a central midfielder, and a center-back, and they must act swiftly to secure these new signings before too many matches have been played. The potential return of Ike Ugbo is promising, but there’s been little discussion about reinforcing other areas of the pitch.

Rohl has expressed a desire for a new midfielder and defender, though he doesn’t seem to be in a rush. The coach must hope Nathaniel Chalobah and Barry Bannan remain fit, given the squad’s lack of depth, particularly since Chalobah only started seven games last season.

True Sheffield Wednesday fee and contract length revealed after ‘no-brainer’ transfer

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.”

Sheffield Wednesday Boss Makes Admission On £1 Million-Rated Star

Sheffield Wednesday head coach Danny Rohl has remained tight-lipped about rumors linking his team with an interest in Rangers forward Scott Wright. Despite the transfer window opening only three weeks ago, the Owls have been very active this summer. Following a remarkable escape from relegation in the Championship last season, the South Yorkshire club has bolstered their squad with several new signings, including Jamal Lowe, Svante Ingelsson, Max Lowe, James Beadle, Ben Hamer, Yan Valery, and most recently, Olaf Kobacki. However, Wednesday may still be looking to add more players and have shown interest in Scott Wright from Rangers. Wright’s current contract at Ibrox has only 12 months remaining, making this the last chance for Rangers to cash in on the attacker, who has a market value of £1 million.
