Sheffield Wednesday 'reject' Millwall bid for Portsmouth-linked Svante Ingelsson as Derby County linked
Millwall and Derby County have reportedly joined Portsmouth on the trail of Sheffield Wednesday midfielder Svante Ingelsson.
A clutch of Wednesday’s senior players are currently being linked with moves away amid continued off-field uncertainty at Hillsborough.
Ingelsson is among those said to be in sights of rivals and Portsmouth are believed to have seen a bid knocked back.
However, the relegation-threatened club do not appear to be the only outfit looking at a deal for the 27-year-old.
Millwall linked with another Sheffield Wednesday midfielder
According to The Star, Millwall have seen a bid in the region of a £300,000 swiftly rejected by Championship basement boys Wednesday.
The Lions are already advancing in their efforts to sign Owls captain Barry Bannan and the capture of Ingelsson would be a bitter follow-up blow. They are also among the clubs to have been credited with interest in Wednesday’s promising young frontman Bailey Cadamarteri.
Derby, meanwhile, have been named as admirers of Ingelsson with the winter window in its final week.
Svante Ingelsson’s time at Sheffield Wednesday
Ingelsson joined Wednesday from German outfit Hansa Rostock in the summer of 2024, during the reign of Danny Rohl.
He has been a key figure for the Owls this term, enabling Wednesday to put up fights in Championship fixtures against clubs with considerably more stability and strength.
However, the former Sweden youth international could be forgiven for wanting to seek some stability for himself elsewhere in England’s second tier.
Henrik Pedersen’s stance
When asked about interest in key players earlier this month, Owls boss Pedersen said: “I know there is a lot of interest for more of our players.
“There will be more interest, of course there will. Let’s see what happens. Right now I don’t know more.
“I can only say I really, really, really hope we can keep our players because we don’t have many. It could be nice to keep who we have.”
