Nathaniel Chalobah has shed light on his decision to join Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday have bolstered their squad with nine new signings at Hillsborough Stadium. Manager Danny Rohl has infused the team with Premier League experience through wing-backs Yan Valery and Max Lowe, and added proven Championship talent like Jamal Lowe.
Rohl has also tapped into the European market, securing deals for Svante Ingelsson and Polish winger Olaf Kobacki, who already made an impact with an assist in the first pre-season game.
Adding to these signings, Rohl has now brought in former Chelsea and England international Nathaniel Chalobah, who joined after being released by Championship rivals West Brom.
Chalobah has shared his reasons for choosing Sheffield Wednesday, highlighting his positive discussions with Rohl.
“It was very positive [talks with Rohl]. Very positive about the way he works, about the squad, and the ambition of the club,” Chalobah said in his first interview with the club on YouTube. “That was enough for me to make a quick decision.”
With extensive Premier League and Championship experience, Chalobah has made 243 appearances across both divisions.
Many new signings at Sheffield Wednesday have pointed to Rohl as a key factor in their decisions to join, including Charlie McNeill, who praised Rohl’s managerial style. Current players, like Josh Windass, have also credited Rohl for their commitment to the club.
Rohl’s influence extends beyond his managerial role, as his appearances on ITV’s Euro 2024 coverage have showcased his football knowledge to a wide audience.
Sheffield Wednesday’s success in the transfer window can be largely attributed to Rohl, with players recognizing the team’s growth and the manager’s ability to maximize their potential.
As Rohl continues his strategic approach to signings, Sheffield Wednesday looks poised to secure even more significant deals this summer, indicating a promising future for the club.
