Everton have joined the growing list of clubs interested in signing Nigerian midfielder Christantus Uche from Spanish side Getafe, BenriNews reports.
The 22-year-old midfielder, who was relatively unknown before his move to Getafe from Spanish second-tier club CD Ceuta last summer, has quickly established himself as a key player for the La Liga side.
In his debut season with Getafe, Uche made an impressive impact, contributing four goals and seven assists across 38 appearances for Jose Bordalas' team. His performances have not gone unnoticed, drawing attention from several clubs across Europe.
Growing Interest Across Europe
According to Estadio Deportivo, Everton are expected to make a formal approach for the Nigerian talent soon. The Merseyside club joins a list of suitors that already includes Atletico Madrid, Newcastle United, Leeds United, and Brentford.
Uche's rapid rise in Spanish football has been remarkable, considering he was playing in the second division just a year ago. His ability to contribute both defensively and offensively in midfield has made him an attractive prospect for clubs looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
For Everton, who have been looking to reinforce their midfield options, Uche represents a potentially valuable addition with his versatility and proven ability to perform at the top level.
While no official transfer fee has been mentioned, Getafe are likely to demand a significant sum for a player who has quickly become one of their most valuable assets.
