During his loan stint with Hillsborough in the second half of the previous season, the Troyes attacker had a significant influence. He scored several crucial goals that ultimately kept the Owls in the Championship.
It is known that Wednesday has been in communication with his French club over the possibility of reaching a permanent agreement that would allow him to return to S6, but as of right now, no agreement has been reached.Ugbo’s absence on Troyes’ preseason roster suggests that a departure is imminent, even if it’s not for Wednesday. Röhl will be hoping that Ugbo is back in blue and white by the time the transfer window closes in August.
When asked about the 25-year-old, he smiled and said, “The latest is that he’s not here at the moment.” However, we’ll see what we can accomplish. We need to try right now, but we know he’s an important player. We must search, and we require alternatives.
“I believe it’s obvious that we know the guys who had a huge, huge impact on us in the second part of the previous season. We’ll continue from here, but I can’t make any promises just now because this is a process.
“You can see that we have a larger team, we can work hard, and we have a good number. Finding the final elements of our picture will now be the focus, and it may take some extra time.
It’s possible that Ugbo will join Wednesday if a contract is completed in time. The team signed a number of new players over the summer, all of whom are already in Germany for their preseason camp. That is still a major “if” for the time being, though.
