Jamal Lowe says he wants to establish himself in a central attacking role at Sheffield Wednesday, while remaining willing to play across the forward line. His comments matter because the club’s summer recruitment has increased competition for places and gives manager Danny Röhl more decisions over his attacking selection.

Lowe joined Wednesday as an experienced forward with the versatility to operate wide or through the middle. The arrival of further attacking signings means he must compete for minutes, but also gives Röhl greater depth and tactical flexibility ahead of the new campaign.
