More Premier League clubs eye Chrisantus Uche

by

Getafe midfielder Chrisantus Uche has already attracted interests from the Premier League in only his first season in the Spanish La Liga.

Aston Villa and Newcastle United are the latest Premier League clubs keen to sign Uche, according to Mundo Deportivo

Uche, 21, joined Getafe from the Spanish third division in a summer transfer for €500,000, and his impact on the team has been notable.

Although he only registered one goal in the opening game against Athletic Club, his influence in midfield has been decisive, earning him close attention from clubs such as Chelsea, and now Aston Villa and Newcastle, who look set to compete for his signature in January

Able to also play in a central position, the midfielder brings the versatility and dynamism that Premier League sides look for in a box-to-box role, which is highly valued in English football.

Uche’s release clause is reportedly set at €25m, a considerably low figure compared to other targets on the market, such as Maccabi Tel Aviv talent Oscar Gloukh and the promising Kenan Yildiz, who both clubs have also shown interest in.

Uche’s potential, his experience in quickly adapting to the high demands of La Liga, and his affordable release clause make him an attractive option in economic and sporting terms for Premier League clubs.

Former Super Eagles Samson Siasia was recently in Madrid to scout the player with the aim of recommending him to the national team.
