The club have opened the exit door for the Sheffield Wednesday forward this summer

Forward options are few and far between at the moment, despite the arrival of experienced Championship goalscorer Jamal Lowe, who arrived on a free transfer from Bournemouth.

Young striker Bailey Cadamarteri is also an option for Rohl, who was able to develop massively last season when the German manager took over the top job at Hillsborough.

A place is still open for a striker to join Sheffield Wednesday, with the likes of Ike Ugbo and Sory Kaba sparking Rohl’s interest.

Despite signing a striker taking his time, Sheffield Wednesday have received a positive update involving one of their options.

Sheffield Wednesday target Sory Kaba is set to leave Las Palmas

Sheffield Wednesday have been given a positive update amid their continued pursuit of former Cardiff City striker Kaba, with the Guinean international set to leave, according to Spanish outlet Canarias.

Las Palmas are reportedly “confident” of moving Kaba to pastures new, with the potential for the striker to join Sheffield Wednesday in a cut-price deal.

The forward struggled in La Liga last season for Las Palmas, scoring just one goal in 17 league appearances.

He also applied his trade in the Champions League where he started six matches for FC Midtjylland, playing against the likes of Liverpool, Ajax and Atalanta.

Should Sheffield Wednesday prioritize signing Sory Kaba over Ike Ugbo

It could be detrimental to Rohl’s pre-season plans if the pursuit of a striker persists, although the options are still plentiful at this point.

It’s clear the German is keen to bring Ugbo back to Hillsborough after he made a massive impact last season in his mid-season spell in S6, scoring seven goals in 18 appearances.

Kaba also has Championship pedigree having scored eight goals in 17 appearances for Cardiff City in the second half of the 2022/23 campaign.

The Guinean is certainly a brilliant option for Sheffield Wednesday, however Ugbo should take priority as it is clear that the Canadian international can perform best under Rohl.

Ugbo is clearly wanted by Rohl and the assurance needed to land a goalscorer at this level will most likely arrive with the Canadian crossing the gates at Hillsborough.
