Montpellier and Standard Liége will rival Sheffield Wednesday in the race to sign Yan Valery

Conformable L’Équipe journalist Loïc Tanzi, Sheffield Wednesday are not the only club showing an interest in Angers right-back Yan Valery (25). Montpellier and Standard Liége are set to challenge the Championship club in their pursuit of the former Southampton defender.

According to him, Valery has already accepted the terms to sign for Wednesday next season L’Équipe. The Tunisia international could be set to return to England based in Yorkshire and made no secret of his desire to return in a recent interview with 90 minutes.

While the South Yorkshire club work to reach an agreement with Angers, the newly promoted Ligue 1 club may be keen to hear what Standard and Montpellier have to say before agreeing to sell the 25-year-old Championship club years. Wednesday coach Danny Röhl is no stranger to Valery – the German coach was Ralph Hasenhüttl’s assistant during his time at Southampton.
