Svante Ingelsson has joined Stoke City from Sheffield Wednesday for an undisclosed fee.

The 28-year-old midfielder signed with the Owls in June 2024 on a free transfer from Bundesliga side Hansa Rostock, making 79 appearances in all competitions.

Sheffield Wednesday's Sporting Director, Simon Wilson, said:

"We identified Svante as a player we wanted to remain part of our long-term plans and made several attempts to secure his future at Sheffield Wednesday.

"We remained disciplined within the financial and regulatory framework currently governing the club during those discussions, and it became clear that Svante wanted to return to the Championship should the opportunity arise.

"While we are naturally disappointed to lose a player of his quality, Svante has been excellent throughout this process, and his honesty and collaboration have allowed all parties to work constructively towards a solution.

"We believe this represents a fair outcome for all parties, whilst also giving us immediate clarity as we continue building the squad for the 2026-27 season."
