Nathaniel Chalobah shares first message to Sheffield Wednesday fans on Instagram
Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed the signing of Nathaniel Chalobah after he was released by fellow Championship side West Brom.
The midfielder has taken to Instagram to send a message to Sheffield Wednesday fans, where he said: “Looking forward to meeting all the Owls fans at Hillsborough.”
The new Sheffield Wednesday signing arrives at Hillsborough with an abundance of experience in the Premier League with Chelsea, where he accumulated 55 appearances.
He also has an England cap to his name, although was just on the pitch for one minute in a 3-2 victory against Spain in 2018.
How will Nathaniel Chalobah fit into Danny Rohl’s plans at Sheffield Wednesday
In the 2023/24 Championship season, Chalobah accumulated 33 appearances in the league, however was more than often utilised off the bench.
Rohl will likely use the midfielder alongside Barry Bannan in the centre of the park, with the former England international sitting as an anchor, whilst Bannan is given more freedom to play the ball around.
It’s likely that Chalobah would start more often ahead of new recruit Svante Ingelsson, with the Swedish midfielder more likely to offer more value in the final 20 minutes of a match, where he can put the opposition under serious pressure with his stamina.
Chalobah will also be crucial for Rohl’s side when against Championship sides that often play through the middle, with teams sometimes exploiting the Sheffield Wednesday in this area during the 2023/24 season.
It’s a shrewd bit of business from Rohl to bring Chalobah through the doors at Hillsborough, one that has all the hallmarks of a solid player that will significantly help in tightening up Sheffield Wednesday’s midfield and provide the depth needed in that position.
