Super Eagles midfielder Christantus Uche is on the verge of a big move to the English Premier League with Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to reports.
The 22-year-old, who has enjoyed an impressive rise over the past year, is set to join Wolves after a successful season with Getafe in La Liga.
Just a year ago, Uche was playing for Ceuta in Spain’s third division. His impressive performances earned him a move to Getafe, where he quickly became an important player.
In his debut season, Uche scored four goals and provided six assists in 33 appearances, showcasing his skill and technical ability.
Now, after attracting interest from top European clubs such as Atletico Madrid, Brentford, and Leeds United, Uche looks set to join Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Premier League club has reportedly made a €20 million bid for the Nigerian midfielder, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirming ongoing talks between the two clubs.
Uche’s potential move is vital for Getafe, who are in a financial bind and need to sell players to comply with La Liga’s strict financial regulations.
With only 13 senior players available for their season opener, the Spanish club is eager to finalize the transfer to raise funds.
Uche’s salary is expected to increase significantly with the move, and personal terms should not be an issue. As Getafe moves quickly to register players, Uche’s transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers is expected to be confirmed shortly.
