At top lane it is hard since most bruisers will beat him and deny his amazing mid-late game. If your opponent pick Darius for example, no matter how better Wukong is at every other aspect, Darius will simply beat him and deny his farm.

Wukong isn't a safe pick for top lane. He can work well as a counterpick, but only for certain champions, such as Jarvan IV and Vladimir, and some that are rarely played, such as Kha'Zix.

At mid lane he works well since he can beat most matchups, but there are some problems. The first is that your team will probably lack an AP champion unless it goes on your jungle or at your top lane. The second is that unless there are other assassins on your team, you would have to build Wukong as an assassin. The third is that Wukong mid is not a common choice, some people can rage at you for choosing that.

At jungle he can work, but he has bad ganks before level 6 and he is easy to counterjungle.
