Does Sheffield Wednesday take a look at another Chelsea youngster? UK News

Uwakwe, 21, is a midfielder currently on the Blues’ books and is said to have come on Wednesday in their preseason game against West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday afternoon.

Darren Moore hasn’t been shy about the tryout candidates lately, with Renedi Masampu and Tolaji Bola having both spent time at the club, while Fulham’s Sylvester Jasper has played against Barnsley this weekend and would have been the manager’s second to participate in the 2-0 loss to the Baggies on Tuesday.

Unlike Jasper, there was no official word regarding Uwakwe, but West Brom posted a photo of what looked like the Chelsea man on their social media platform as he challenged Callum Robinson for the ball.

Uwakwe fits the mold Moore seems to be looking for over the summer – young, talented and eager to prove himself at the senior level.

The young midfielder also has Ligue 1 experience having played 15 games on loan for Accrington Stanley in 2020/21, scoring once and getting three assists as he entered senior football for the first time.

Wednesday have already signed Dennis Adeniran, Olamide Shodipo and Jaden Brown for their first team as Moore’s rebuilding continues, and he will no doubt give his final rider a week or so to impress before a decision is made on the opportunity to try and get him to come. advice for the 2021/22 campaign.
