Sheffield Wednesday new signing Svante Ingelsson has sent his first message to supporters after joining on Friday.
Danny Rohl has wasted no time in ensuring his squad is ready for the Championship season.
They stayed up on miraculous terms after finishing the 2023/24 season with three consecutive wins, including the blockbuster 3-0 win at home against West Brom.
Ever since, Sheffield Wednesday have shown their intent on building on last season’s successes with fan-favourites Barry Bannan and Liam Palmer following Rohl in signing a contract for the new season
The signing Yan Valery, who has Premier League experience for Southampton, has also shown that Sheffield Wednesday mean business this season.
Former Sheffield United wing back Max Lowe and Ben Hamer have also been signed ahead of the 2024/25 campaign.
They have now bolstered their midfield options with brand new signing Svante Ingelsson, who has spoken out after his move to S6.
Svante Ingelsson ‘very happy’ after signing for Sheffield Wednesday
Svante Ingelsson completed his switch to Hillsborough on a free transfer following a season in 2.Bundesliga with Hansa Rostock.
The 26-year-old took to Instagram following his signing on Friday where he announced: “Very happy to have signed for Sheffield Wednesday. Really looking forward to get the season started.”
Ingelsson endured a relegation in his third season with Rostock in the 2023/24 campaign, before leaving the club this summer.
The Swede also has experience with Udinese where he racked up several appearances as a youngster, although was unable to cement regular game time in Serie A.
Svante Ingelsson will be the perfect partner for Barry Bannan at Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday boss Rohl will have a clear vision as to what he will expect from his new arrival, which if successful could bring out the best in club captain Bannan.
Ingelsson may not have the goalscoring pedigree, however has the ability to succeed at doing the dirty work, which was the case for Hansa Rostock in his three seasons in Bundesliga 2.
Expect Ingelsson to cover every blade on the Hillsborough turf, with him having an engine that could last a full 90, or completely turn around a game if called upon from the bench.
Ingelsson is familiar with playing both attacking and more defensive in the centre, as well as occasionally being slotted at leftwing, which happened on a few occasions this campaign.
Standing at 6ft2, he’ll be utilised in breaking up the play in the centre of the park, whilst Bannan can focus on the playmaking.
It’d be very likely that both Bannan and Ingelsson are the starting midfield pair for Wednesday’s opening league clash at home to Plymouth Argyle.
For a free transfer, Rohl could have potentially unearthed a hidden gem who could be perfect for the German’s system.
