Sheffield Wednesday signing Yan Valery has sent a message to the Owls faithful, after sealing his summer switch from Angers.

Sheffield Wednesday announced the signing of Yan Valery from French Ligue 1 club Angers on Friday.

The Tunisian international returns to England after previously playing under Danny Rohl at Southampton, leaving the Saints in 2022 to join Angers.

In his first season with the French outfit, right-back Valery suffered relegation, before then playing a key role in their immediate return to Ligue 1 last time round.

The 25-year-old featured 35 times in Ligue 2 last season, grabbing four assists and now earning himself a permanent move to Sheffield Wednesday.

He’s the Owls’ third signing of the summer so far, with Ben Hamer and Max Lowe being the others, and with many more expected in what’s shaping up to be an exciting summer transfer window at Hillsborough.

Yan Valery message to Sheffield Wednesday fans

Sheffield Wednesday announced the news that Valery had joined from Angers on Friday morning.

Soon after, Valery posted a message on X, saying his goodbyes to Angers after a successful two-year spell with the club, in which he made 68 total appearances.

In his career, Valery has 187 total appearances; 43 of which in the Premier League with Southampton, as well as having eight caps for Tunisia.

Now a Sheffield Wednesday player, Valery has addressed the excited Owls faithful with a message, posting on X:

What next for Sheffield Wednesday in the transfer market

With Sheffield Wednesday having three new signings within the first week of the summer transfer window, it suggests that the Owls plan to be busy this summer.

A fourth summer signing may not be imminent and it looks as though it could well be Ian Poveda on a free transfer.

The Owls are said to be in talks to sign Poveda this summer, though a deal is far from done with other teams thought to be keen on signing the Colombian this summer.

If Poveda joins, though, it would be another impressive summer signing for Sheffield Wednesday, who certainly seem to mean business under Rohl this summer.

There must also be praise for owner Dejphon Chansiri for facilitating a new deal for Rohl and then showing his ambition in the summer transfer window as well.

So far, it’s so good for Sheffield Wednesday and Rohl in this summer transfer window.
