Transfer news: Sheffield Wednesday's Oguchi Onyewu keeping options open

Oguchi Onyewu will see what the summer brings before making a decision on whether to stay at Sheffield Wednesday or move on.

Homecoming
Remarkably, Onyewu is yet to spend any time in the MLS, but he admits a homecoming could be on the cards at some stage in the future if the right opportunity presents itself. He said: "Maybe at some point it will be the right move. It will have a lot to do with a lot of different factors. As I've said, if the league approached me in a serious manner to bring me back, I'd definitely consider it. At this moment, that hasn't been the case and as long as it's not I'm going to stay out here in Europe. "Right now I'm like a 19-year-old again, just enjoying my football, playing all the time and having the respect of my team-mates and my club. I'm lucky to have that propel me and have the momentum to push me forward with club and country." On the progress being made in the MLS, with the likes of Michael Bradley, Jermain Defoe, Thierry Henry and Robbie Keane plying their trade in the USA and David Beckham heading back with a new Miami-based franchise, Onyewu added: "I think right now the league is making a big push, they are signing big players, there is a lot of marketing being done. It will be interesting to see if they can sustain that. "Once the level of players starts to rise, the level of games starts to as well. I think the MLS has taken positive steps in terms of progressing the league and sustaining the league, I hope they continue to do so."
