Ugandan English professional footballer Uchechukwu Mubiru Ikpeazu who plays as a forward from EFL Championship club Middlesbrough could be looking to leave the club at the end of the season.

According to reports, Uche could consider continuing as a forward for EFL Championship club Cardiff City where he is currently loaned.

Chris Wilder’s Middlesbrough are still well in the battle for promotion from the Championship, meaning they could yet be playing Premier League or second-tier football next season.

According to Football League World, "Since making that [loan] move, the striker has scored three goals in seven appearances for the Bluebirds, as many as he did in 22 games for ‘Boro since his move to the club from Wycombe.

"Given he seems to have settled more quickly in the Welsh capital than he did in ‘Boro, and looks to be thriving with the style of play employed by Cardiff boss Steve Morison, the prospect of making that loan move away from ‘Boro permanent in the summer, could well be appealing for Ikpeazu."

Ikpeazu was once called up to the Uganda squad by Northern Irish head coach Johnathan McKinstry for two 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification matches in March 2020. The games however were postponed due COVID-19.
