‘Clever’ free-agent who Sheffield Wednesday tried to sign looks set to join Championship rivals

Sheffield Wednesday’s rivals look set to sign their former January transfer target.

Sheffield Wednesday were desperate to bring in some attacking reinforcements back in January, with their five strikers finishing on eleven goals between them.

They eventually snapped up Ike Ugbo on loan from Troyes, who went onto net seven goals in 19 appearances.

He wasn’t the only forward they had tried to sign though, with Mika Biereth once striker who they have since reignited their interest in.

The Daily Mail also reported that they made a loan bid for West Ham’s Divin Mubama, who eventually stayed at the London Stadium for the rest of the campaign.

Championship club leading the race for Divin Mubama
After making 12 appearances for the Irons’ senior team last term, Mubama went onto reject a new contract with the club and became a free agent at the weekend.

The ‘clever’ 19-year-old was a target of a number of clubs in the Championship and across Europe, though it is unclear whether Wednesday are still interested in his signature.

However, it now looks like one of their Championship rivals is leading the race to snap him up this summer.

According to GIVEMESPORT, Sunderland are in pole position to sign Mubama on a free transfer.

The teenager was highly-rated at West Ham, with the Premier League outfit keen to keep hold of him before he left in search of regular game-time.
