He eventually left the club on a permanent basis in 2021, sealing a move to Genk. Troyes swooped for the forward in 2022 and sanctioned his loan move to Cardiff last summer.
Wednesday made their first signing of Danny Rohl’s tenure earlier this week, securing the services of goalkeeper James Beadle on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.
They have also been linked with West Ham United midfielder Conor Coventry.
