SHEFFIELD Wednesday are keen on much-travelled midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah following his release from Championship rivals West Brom.

The 29-year-old - who has played for eight English clubs in a career that started at Chelsea - is available on a free transfer and has been targeted by the Hillsborough outfit.

Older brother of one-time Huddersfield Town loanee Trevoh, Chalobah had a loan spell at Middlesbrough earlier in his career.

He made 36 appearances for West Brom last term.

Their other new arrivals are Brighton loan keeper James Beadle, Polish left-winger Olaf Kobacki, Swedish midfielder Svante Ingelsson, former Swansea forward Jamal Lowe, ex-Southampton defender Yan Valery, one-time Huddersfield Town keeper Ben Hamer and former Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest defender Max Lowe.
