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.”
La Liga has officially lodged a complaint with the European Commission, accusing Manchester City of violating EU competition laws by receiving undisclosed financial support from the United Arab Emirates.
The complaint, submitted by La Liga President Javier Tebas, alleges that these funds were used to artificially boost Manchester City’s revenues and circumvent UEFA's Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations.
Tebas stated, "This is a clear case of financial doping that distorts the competitive balance across Europe," emphasizing the need for regulatory intervention.
He further argued that Manchester City’s actions have "created an uneven playing field," disadvantaging clubs that comply with financial regulations.
In response, Manchester City has denied any wrongdoing, insisting that their financial practices are fully compliant with all regulations.
A club spokesperson stated, "Manchester City operates within the rules and remains confident that an impartial review will confirm this."
The club's financial dealings have already been under scrutiny due to over 100 alleged breaches of the Premier League's financial rules, including accusations of overstating sponsorship revenues.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola refused to comment directly on the allegations during a recent press conference, responding with a curt "Next question" when asked about the issue.
If found guilty, the club could face severe penalties, including fines, points deductions, or even exclusion from European competitions.
