Sheffield Wednesday
Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Svante Ingelsson is set to join Stoke City in a £1m deal. The 27-year-old has agreed personal terms with Mark Robins' side and is poised to complete the switch.
What happened?
Ingelsson's exit from Sheffield Wednesday was agreed after the club triggered a 12-month extension on his terms at the end of the campaign.
The former Hansa Rostock man has netted 2 goals and collected 5 assists in 79 appearances in all competitions for the Owls.
Why it matters for Sheffield Wednesday
The transfer will bring Ingelsson's two-year Hillsborough stay to a close. Sheffield Wednesday are currently 24th in the Championship, with 0 points from 46 games, and a recent form of WLLDD.
| Stat | Value |

| League standing | 24th in Championship |

What comes next?
The Blues are once again back in the market for a midfielder following Andre Dozzell's departure earlier this summer. Ingelsson was a top target for Portsmouth during the January window, but the club has since moved on to other targets. The transfer is expected to be completed in the coming days, with Ingelsson set to join Stoke City at the Bet365 Stadium.
