Sheffield Wednesday have added another piece to their summer rebuild, securing midfielder and wing-back Jordi Liongola on a three-year contract, pending international clearance. The 26-year-old joins from RAAL La Louvière in the Belgian Pro League, bringing international pedigree and positional flexibility to a Wednesday side with clear ambitions for the 2026-27 season.
The deal, confirmed in late June 2026, reflects the club’s willingness to look beyond the traditional English football pipeline for talent.
Who is Jordi Liongola?
Born on May 17, 2000, in Tessenderlo, Belgium, Liongola grew up inside some of the more respected youth academies in Belgian football. He came through the ranks at Standard Liège and Royal Antwerp before finding his way to RAAL La Louvière.
At 1.85m, he has the frame to play in multiple roles across the midfield and defensive line.
