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.”
Francesco Totti, the legendary figure of AS Roma, has shocked football fans with his recent comments about a potential return to Serie A. The 48-year-old, who hung up his boots in 2017, revealed that he has received calls from various clubs, making him contemplate a comeback.
“I admit that they made me think a little, a little crazy. It would be difficult, but in life you never say never,” he said. Totti acknowledged that many players have continued their careers long after retirement, hinting that he could still have something to offer on the pitch.
The iconic No. 10 also expressed that any return would depend on rigorous training. “If I were to return to Serie A I would have to train really well,” he stated. Despite being open to the idea, Totti made it crystal clear that he would never wear the colors of Lazio, Roma’s arch-rivals.
Totti believes that his skill set could still shine in the current landscape of Serie A. “With the levelof today's Serie A I could easily have my say on the pitch,” he asserted. He maintains a base level of fitness by playing casually, and has indicated he could be match-ready in two to three months.
As he reflects on his past and future, Totti remains a beloved figure in Italian football, and his potential return would undoubtedly send waves through the football world.
