Sheffield Wednesday make bigger move for midfielder Svante Ingelsson

Now, new claims have emerged regarding a potential transfer target for Danny Rohl.

According to The Star, Sheffield Wednesday have identified Swedish midfielder Svante Ingelsson as a possible addition. The 26-year-old is currently at 2. Bundesliga side Hansa Rostock, but has just been relegated to the third tier of German football.

Two German clubs are also keen, but Ingelsson is “receptive” to changing leagues. He is under contract until 2026 after signing a contract extension last summer, but will be free to leave for nothing following his club’s relegation.

THE QUIZ STARTS!

A valuable plus?

Midfield is definitely an aspect Sheffield Wednesday will strengthen this summer, and a move for someone like Ingelsson could prove very valuable for Rohl.

Looking at the Kalmar-born ace, one of the first things that stands out is his versatility. He mainly operates as an attacking midfielder, but is comfortable in a slightly deeper role and also on the left side, even playing as a striker at times.

On a free transfer, Ingelsson could prove to be a very smart signing for the Owls

He apparently has other admirers who could put a spanner in the works, but Wednesday would make a wise move to sign a versatile midfielder for nothing. Coming off a decent individual season in a relegated team, it looks like a deal Ingelsson deserves too.

Current middle options

The middle of the pitch is a very empty area of ​​the park as it is.

Barry Bannan is currently the only midfielder signed at Sheffield Wednesday after the end of this month. Club legend Liam Palmer can play in the middle, but he is primarily a defender.

It gives Rohl a lot of work to do, but gives him a free table to build his ideal midfield next season. That opportunity will be welcomed with open arms, even if it means they will have to be very active in the transfer market to fill the ranks again.

Whether Ingelsson is part of that midfield shake-up remains to be seen, but with the player receptive to a move and ready to leave Hansa Rostock, it certainly seems a feasible deal should the Owls step up their interest.
