One person has ‘pushed’ Jamal Lowe to join Sheffield Wednesday in a ‘no brainer’ decision.

Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed their fifth signing of the summer in Jamal Lowe.

Lowe joins Sheffield Wednesday on a free transfer after being released by AFC Bournemouth at the end of the season.

The striker has an impressive record in the Championship, amassing 39 goals and providing 12 assists in the second tier.

After racking up eleven goal contributions while on loan at Swansea City last term, Lowe has gained plenty of interest from the likes of Ipswich, Norwich and Middlesbrough.

Despite having the option to join clubs that finished much higher than Wednesday, the striker made the decision to move to Hillsborough this week.

Jamal Lowe wants to ‘repay’ Danny Rohl’s ‘faith’

Lowe has now explained why he decided to turn down his Championship rivals and move to Yorkshire after spending much of his career down south.

Speaking on the club’s official YouTube channel, he said: “Obviously, I knew how big the club is, how big the fan base is and what else has driven it is the ambitions of the new manager and how active he is, how ambitious he is . he is and how his thought process works and that was another major key to the descent.

“I spoke to him a few times before I went down and everything is so positive and sounds exactly how I want to play. It’s the same style of play that I want to be involved in, it’s the ambitions that I want to be involved in, so it wasn’t really a no-brainer. Once I heard the words come out of his mouth, it’s something I want to be a part of and repay his faith in me.”

The German boss is a switch for Sheffield Wednesday

Lowe is an exceptional signing for Wednesday given the quality of the clubs they have faced.

The 29-year-old can play anywhere in attack and guarantees the Owls goals, while they really managed to lure him in for next to nothing.

Winning the race for Lowe shows how much appeal Danny Rohl has.

The German has made some impressive signings so far, with the likes of Lowe, Yan Valery and Max Lowe unlikely to have joined the club had another manager been in charge.

It was already abundantly clear to the supporters, but Rohl’s decision to stay on Wednesday is a huge change for the club and could make next season that much more interesting.
