The Sheffield Wednesday striker scored his first goal for 43 matches at Portman Road.
At least two former Sheffield Wednesday players were monitoring the Owls’ progress at Ipswich Town on Wednesday.
Wednesday secured a point at Portman Road, courtesy of Atdhe Nuhiu’s stoppage time header – his first club goal since February 2016.
And two of Nuhiu’s old teammates were quick to congratulate the Kosovan striker on social media.
Modou Sougou sent the following message to Nuhiu:
And Vincent Sasso posted:
Both Sougou and Sasso were released by Wednesday at the end of last season, having initially arrived at Hillsborough in 2015.
But while Sasso was quick to find employment was Belenenses in Portugal, Sougou remains without a club nearly six months on.
Joe Garner gave Ipswich the lead at Portman Road but Gary Hooper equalised for Wednesday from the penalty spot – 34 games since the Owls’ last spot kick in normal time.
Martyn Waghorn profited from another visitors error to restore the Tractor Boys’ advantage, before Nuhiu pounced at the death.
Would keeping Sougou or Sasso on board improve Sheffield Wednesday’s fortunes?
