Sheffield Wednesday have reportedly agreed on a fee to sign Angers defender Yan Valery. The 25-year-old, familiar to Owls head coach Danny Rohl from his previous tenure at Southampton, is close to finalizing his move as Wednesday aims to secure their first signing of the summer transfer window, which officially opens on Friday.

Reports indicate that personal terms have also been agreed upon with Valery, who has been linked with Montpellier and Standard Liege. However, it seems Wednesday have won the race to sign the Tunisian international, who has also played in England for Birmingham City. A medical is scheduled before the signing is expected to be completed next week.

Valery made 53 appearances in four seasons at Southampton after joining from Rennes academy in 2015. During his time at St Mary’s, he had a brief loan spell at Birmingham and played 35 league matches for Angers last season, helping them secure promotion from Ligue 2.

Wednesday are also in advanced talks to sign left-back Max Lowe, who recently left city rivals Sheffield United. A medical could take place by the end of the week. Additionally, Wednesday has been linked with experienced goalkeeper Ben Hamer and young forward Mika Biereth.
