Sheffield Wednesday's Svante Ingelsson, 27, is a potential target for Watford, a club that aims to bring in more experienced players to support its young talent; this strategy has been confirmed by chairman Scott Duxbury. The Swedish central midfielder, who joined the Owls in July 2024, has demonstrated he can perform at Championship level, becoming an influential figure. While Sheffield Wednesday want to keep him, there is growing interest from other rival clubs in the division, including West Bromwich Albion, Portsmouth, and Preston North End. Ingelsson's contract expires in June 2026. During the January 2026 transfer window, Sheffield Wednesday reportedly rejected a 'seven-figure' offer from Millwall after an initial bid of approximately €350,000. An asking price of around €600,000 was also reported. His current market value is €1.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
