Swansea City and Jamal Lowe are set to reconnect on Tuesday, with Luke Williams indicating that “most” clubs in the Championship would be pleased to have the forward on their team.
Last season, Lowe was a joint top scorer for Swansea, finding the net nine times in 35 appearances, including 24 starts, after returning to the club on loan from Bournemouth.
After becoming a free agent over the summer, Williams had previously hinted in April that Swansea might consider offering the Jamaica international a permanent contract.
Lowe, who celebrated his 30th birthday in July, ultimately signed with Sheffield Wednesday on a free transfer.
Williams expressed his willingness to have retained the former Wigan and Portsmouth player, stating, “I think most Championship squads would be very pleased to have Jamal Lowe.”
“However, you can’t have everything, and we are content with our current squad. We’re also really glad that Jamal has found a club where he can play regular football.
“Not everything is perfect in life, but I think, in the end, it was a good solution for both sides.
”So far this season, Lowe has scored twice in nine appearances for the Owls, with his only league goal coming on the opening weekend.
“He is a very gifted player, we know that,” Williams added. “He is very creative, possesses good physicality, and can be difficult to handle. But we also have several players in our squad who have experience playing with him, so hopefully, that gives us a better chance to cope with him.
“We look forward to seeing him because he is a great guy, but we hope he has a quiet game.”
Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is considering extending his stay at the Etihad beyond the end of this season, despite interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer.
The Belgian playmaker, whose contract expires in the summer, remains a crucial figure for Pep Guardiola’s side and is reportedly keen on staying in Europe to maintain his elite level ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
De Bruyne’s potential suitors include San Diego FC, who are set to debut in MLS next year, and several Saudi Pro League giants willing to offer lucrative contracts.
However, sources close to the player suggest he remains committed to competing at the highest level.
Speaking about his future, De Bruyne emphasised his desire to make the right decision for his career.
“I feel good at City, and I know I can still perform at the top level. My focus is on finishing the season strong and then making the best choice for my future.”
Manchester City officials remain optimistic about keeping their midfield maestro, with Guardiola publicly expressing his hopes for an extended stay.
The City manager stated* “Kevin has been an incredible part of this club for years. We want him to stay, but ultimately, it’s his decision.”
With contract talks expected to intensify in the coming months, De Bruyne’s next move will be closely watched by football fans worldwide.
