Highlights
  • Former Sheffield Wednesday star Atdhe Nuhiu praised by Premier League club
  • Nuhiu remains a topic of discussion among fans despite leaving four years ago
  • The Kosovan international made significant contributions during his time at Sheffield Wednesday

Former Sheffield Wednesday player, Atdhe Nuhiu, has received recognition from a certain Premier League club in a recent social media post. Despite departing the team four years ago, Nuhiu continues to be an active subject of conversation among fans.

Nuhiu joined Sheffield Wednesday in 2013 as an unknown talent and quickly became a cult icon after seven successful seasons with the club. Throughout his tenure, he made impressive statistics including scoring 50 goals and providing assistance for another 27. His most prolific season was in 2017/18 when he scored eleven goals and provided five assists in just twentyeight Championship appearances.

In addition to his achievements at Sheffield Wednesday, Nuhiu had subsequent stints with APOEL in Cyprus and currently plays for Austrian side Rheindorf Altach. Since joining Rheindorf Altach, he has contributed significantly to their performance with twenty goals and seven assists across ninetytwo appearances.

Bournemouth recently paid tribute to Nuhiu on social media by referring to him as the 'Greatest of All Time' (GOAT). This recognition stems from his crucial goal against Watford in a draw during the final day of the 2014/15 season. The result denied Watford the league title and instead handed it over to Bournemouth, who have since spent most seasons in the Premier League.

Sheffield Wednesday has discovered several cult heroes this season despite their overall poor performance. Loan players Ike Ugbo, Ian Poveda, and James Beadle have all made significant contributions throughout their time at Sheffield Wednesday. Ugbo's goals were vital for the team this season while Poveda added attacking flair when available due to injury setbacks. Beadle showcased exceptional skills with remarkable saves that contributed greatly to recent victories.

However, Danny Rohl stands out among these new talents as he played a pivotal role in Sheffield Wednesday's chances of survival this season. His impact cannot be overstated; without him, they would not have had such a strong chance heading into their last game against Sunderland.

If Rohl remains with Sheffield Wednesday next season and if they avoid relegation fromtheChampionship,theclubmay find more talented players like Nuhiu during the upcoming summer transfer market. The team's final game of the season will be against Sunderland this weekend.
