Royston Drenthe: 'I was desperate to sign for Sheffield Wednesday'

Royston Drenthe reveals that he was desperate to join Sheffield Wednesday when he learned of their interest on transfer deadline day.

Royston Drenthe has claimed that he didn't have to think twice before agreeing to move to Sheffield Wednesday on transfer deadline day.

The 27-year-old looked set for a season of frustration at Reading before his loan to their Championship rivals, and he admits the promise of playing regularly was a crucial factor in his decision.

"I cannot wait to start because I need to be playing football," Drenthe told the club's website. "Everyone at Reading has been great with me but I am a footballer who needs to be playing games.

"As soon as I was told of the interest from Sheffield Wednesday, my reaction was 'get me there' because this is such a great club and one that I think is going places."

Drenthe could make his debut when the Owls return to Championship action against Bolton Wanderers next Saturday.
