Just on the brink of the Championship kickoff, Sheffield Wednesday is reportedly on the verge of securing a new attacking player before the season kicks off, a move that could boost their squad for the upcoming campaign.
The Owls are preparing to face Plymouth Argyle in their season opener, hoping to distance themselves from relegation concerns after making significant roster changes, with notable additions like Max Lowe, Jamal Lowe, Yan Valery, and Nathaniel Chalobah—all with previous Premier League experience.
Under the guidance of manager Danny Rohl, Wednesday aims to surprise this season with the help of these seasoned players. Following a 20th-place finish and escaping relegation by a slim margin in the previous season, the club’s supporters anticipate a more enjoyable season under Rohl’s leadership.
In a bid to further strengthen their squad, Sheffield Wednesday is in talks to secure Ike Ugbo’s services within the next 48 hours, potentially beating Sunderland to the deal. The permanent move for the forward, who previously impressed during a loan spell last season, could provide a significant boost to the Owls at the beginning of the season.
Ugbo, who struggled initially at Cardiff City before finding his rhythm at Wednesday, has become a key player in Rohl’s plans. The manager expressed the importance of Ugbo’s potential permanent signing, emphasizing the need for diverse options in the squad to build on the team’s successes from last season.
Despite the tight timeframe for Ugbo’s arrival, Sheffield Wednesday is hopeful that the Canada international will be ready to feature in their match against Plymouth, setting the stage for an exciting start to the season.
