Sheffield Wednesday is eyeing a permanent deal for loan star Ike Ugbo after his impressive loan spell, as reported by The Star. Ugbo, a Canadian international, joined Wednesday on loan in January from Cardiff City and played a vital role in their battle against relegation.
With seven goals and an assist in 19 appearances for Wednesday, Ugbo’s impact was significant, especially as all his goals contributed to their victories during a crucial period. The club is now looking to secure his services permanently, hoping that his successful loan stint gives them an edge in negotiations.
Interestingly, Ugbo’s parent club ESTAC Troyes might face relegation from Ligue 2, which could open the door for a more affordable deal despite his contract running until 2026.
While Sheffield Wednesday is keen on retaining Ugbo, it’s expected that other clubs will show interest given his impressive performances this season. However, his success and rapport with the fans at Hillsborough could play a crucial role in his decision-making process.
Having showcased his talents beyond just scoring goals, Ugbo’s potential return to Sheffield Wednesday seems promising, although the final outcome will depend on various factors, including his valuation and competing offers from other clubs.
