Sheffield Wednesday have submitted a bid for a proven Championship striker as they prepare for the 2024/25 season. The club has already had a productive summer transfer window, with eight new signings, including Charlie McNeill, who joined after being released by Manchester United. McNeill will compete for a spot in the squad alongside striker Jamal Lowe, who has arrived from Bournemouth after a loan spell with Swansea City in the 2023/24 campaign.

Sheffield Wednesday have reportedly made an ‘opening bid’ for Troyes attacker Ike Ugbo, according to Mike McGrath on X. Ugbo, a Canadian international, played a pivotal role for Sheffield Wednesday during the latter part of the 2023/24 season while on loan, scoring seven goals to help the Owls secure their Championship status. Following his successful loan spell, Ugbo has attracted interest from other Championship clubs and is being monitored by Premier League teams.

“I would go with Ugbo” – Sheffield Wednesday claim made amid new Sory Kaba transfer news

Sheffield Wednesday might pivot to signing Sory Kaba from Las Palmas due to the potential high cost of securing Ike Ugbo from Troyes permanently. Ugbo, who joined on loan from the French club and previously played for Cardiff City, impressed with seven goals and one assist in 19 games, aiding in the club’s Championship survival. However, financial constraints could hinder a permanent move for Ugbo, prompting Wednesday to consider Kaba, who has Championship experience from his spell with Cardiff in the 2022/23 season and is now available for transfer after just one season with Las Palmas.
