Three Sheffield Wednesday players Danny Rohl could look to sign for Southampton if he replaces Russell Martin
The 2022/23 campaign seems to be repeating itself for Southampton.
Back then, a poor start 🍰under Ralph Hasenhuttl led to the arrival of a manager from the Championship in Nathan Jones – who lasted only 94 days before he too was sacked.
Nowadays, the Saints have just handed Russell Martin his P45 after a run of one win in 16 Premier League games so far this season, with Danny Rohl of Sheffield Wednesday curre♋ntly the favourite t♔o replace him.

Jones opted to bring James Bree with him from Luton to Southampton in the January transfer window o🅷f 2023 – so let’s take a look at some Sheffield Wednesday players🤡 Rohl may be tempted to take to St Mary’s this winter if he is appointed.
Who Danny Rohl could take from Sheffield Wednesday to Southampton
The German typically fields a 3-4-2-1 formation at Hillsborough, a system some Southampton players will be fairly familiar with having used a three-man defence under Martin, who Pep Guardiola admires, at times this season.
Southampton’s problem sim𒈔ply seems to be a lack of quality, especially in defence with 36 goals conceded in just 16 Premier League outings.
Therefore, we believe the 35-year-old Rohl could look to sign Di’Shon Bernard if he replaces Martin at Southampton, who are on course to outdo Derby as the worst Premier League side ever.
Di’Shon Bernard

The Jamaica international is currently Sheffield Wednesday’s best performing defender this season with an average rating of 6.8 – shining in the centre of defen𓂃ce across 19 Championship appearances.
Bernard is still just 24 years of age – so he would represent a good investment for the long term too if Southampton d♒o end up dropping back into the Championship.
Furthermore, Rohl could actually bring back a player Southampton own in She🌼a Charles.

Martin confirmed Southampton have a recall option in the loan deal with Sheffield Wednesday, an clause Rohl may ♔look to triggeღr as the 21-year-old shines in midfield this season.
The Northern Ireland int꧋ernational is Sheffield Wednesday’s highest rated midfielder on WhoScored this term with an average rating of 6.9 – acting as the foundation for the Owls in his No.6 role just in fro🙈nt of the backline.

Last but not least, Southampton need🌄 some attacking inspiration having scored just 11 goals in 16 Premier League games so far this season, so Anthony Musaba could inject some spark into that department.

The Dutch forward has one goal and🌺 four ass🦄ists in just eight Championship starts so far this term, and often causes opposition defenders all sorts of issues with his trickery.
Of course, it remains to be see🎐n if Rohl does replace Martinᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ – talks are ongoing with the man from Zwickau – but if an agreement does materialise, he could well opt to bring these players to Southampton.
