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.”
As Major League Soccer (MLS) embarks on its 30th season, the league stands at a critical juncture, deliberating its future direction in the global soccer landscape.
The recent inclusion of San Diego FC as the 30th team exemplifies MLS's rapid expansion.
However, this growth prompts questions about the league's identity and objectives.
Bob Foose, executive director of the MLS Players Association, expressed concern, stating, "I've been disappointed in how little has been done so far to build on that momentum internally."
This sentiment reflects a broader debate on whether MLS should prioritize becoming a competitive world league or focus on strengthening its domestic roots.
The upcoming 2026 World Cup, set to be hosted predominantly in the United States, presents a unique opportunity for MLS to elevate its profile.
Despite achieving record attendance and expanding its fan base, the league still grapples with securing a firm foothold in the mainstream American sports consciousness.
Foose emphasized the urgency of strategic action, noting, "There should have been significant moves made over the last 12 to 18 months."
As MLS navigates this pivotal period, the decisions made now will likely define its trajectory in the evolving global soccer arena.
