Sheffield Wednesday now ‘interested’ in signing former Liverpool and Man Utd.
Sheffield Wednesday now ‘interested’ in signing former Liverpool and Man Utd.
Before the transfer window closes later this month, Sheffield Wednesday plans to make additional acquisitions.
The Owls were thrilled with their participation to the team’s thrashing of Plymouth Argyle over the weekend and have already added 10 new members.
Sheffield Wednesday looked quite aggressive at home thanks to an especially “tremendous” performance from new midfielder Svante Ingelsson.
The absence of Nathaniel Chalobah from the matchday roster left the Owls lacking a defensive presence.
It wasn’t a problem for Plymouth because of their lack of danger, but it appears that Danny Rohl has recognized this as a weakness and is now trying to bolster his defense with another midfielder.
Journalist Charlie Parker-Turner of the Express claims that Wednesday is “interested” in loaning out Malick Yalcouye.
“Understand Malick Yalcouye is set to be sent out on loan by #BHAFC,” he tweeted on X. Although the midfielder created an impression during the preseason, it has been decided that he will play for another team in the forthcoming season. Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday, and Luton Town are all considering it.
The 18-year-old, who played eleven games in the Allsvenskan last season, transferred from Swedish club IFK Goteborg to Brighton & Hove Albion last month.
Previously, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Southampton had expressed interest in him; nevertheless, he chose to relocate to the Amex Stadium.
The Athletic claims that Yalcouye can play at the No. 6 or No. 8 position, is adept with the ball, and enjoys getting forward.
Fabian Hurzeler, the head coach of Brighton, described the midfielder as gifted and full of potential to become a world-class player.
“We’re eager to support him as he moves forward in his career, and he is excited about this next chapter.”
Although it was first anticipated that Yalcouye would attempt to get into Brighton’s matchday roster, he is now focusing on getting consistent playing time elsewhere.
If Chalobah struggles with fitness, Rohl may find his potential to be very intriguing and provide him more choices in the middle.
Although players like Barry Bannan and Ingelsson appear to be among the first names on the team sheet this year, the final spot is undoubtedly up for grabs.
The Seagulls might be interested in allowing their new acquisition to relocate to Hillsborough and continue to develop if they witnessed Wednesday’s performance over the weekend.
Although it sounds like an intriguing endeavor, the Owls will have competition from teams that will undoubtedly be vying for promotion and who might provide Yalcouye with some crucial Championship experience.
In Wayne Rooney’s first game as the Pilgrims’ head coach, the starting lineup was a makeover.
In the first game, Sheffield Wednesday dominated Plymouth and scored four goals past them, looking far like a club that had only been assembled this summer.
One of several players to make an impression at Hillsborough, Lowe made the contentious decision to leave Sheffield United and immediately settled in at left-back.
The 27-year-old made two crucial passes, prevailed in 60% of his ground duels, and won one clearance, one interception, and three tackles.
After making his debut, Lowe posted on social media, saying, “Happy to make my debut with a strong team performance 💪🏍.” I appreciate your help.
Lowe replaced Marvin Johnson in the starting lineup and is probably going to be around for the team.
Johnson contributed eight goals as a wing-back last season, making him a highly valuable asset for Danny Rohl.
However, the 33-year-old will undoubtedly still have a part to play, and his adaptability and leadership skills will probably see him included in the starting lineup for crucial games and periods when his form is particularly difficult.
Having battled to earn a starting position at Sheffield United, Lowe will be keen to secure a regular position.
Though he did make a decent impression against Plymouth, the real test will come in the next few weeks when they play teams like Leeds United and Sunderland.
When Rohl visits Wearside this weekend, it will be fascinating to watch if they alter their shape, since that would provide Lowe more room to advance.
In his final season in the Championship, the 27-year-old contributed six goals, and he will be keen to improve on that if given more opportunities to attack.
Undoubtedly, he must exercise caution when facing individuals such as Jack Clarke and Patrick Roberts.
