Chrisantus Uche: LaLiga, Premier League giants set to battle for Super Eagles hopeful
Super Eagles midfielder Christantus Uche has reportedly caught the eye of Atletico Madrid and Brentford after a breakout season with Getafe.
The 22-year-old, who made his LaLiga debut this year after moving from third-division Ceuta, contributed four goals and six assists in 33 appearances.
His standout moment came two weeks ago when he scored the crucial goal that kept Getafe in the top flight.
Strong interest in Chrisantus Uche
Back in January, Premier League giants Chelsea were credited with an interest in the midfielder but nothing came of it.
Now, according to Africa Foot, Atletico and Brentford are keen to sign him this summer.
Diego Simeone's midfield needs a revamp, with the likes of Koke and Axel Witsel’s contracts expiring in June.
Brentford, meanwhile, want to bolster their squad to push for a European spot next season.
Transfermarkt values Uche at €8 million, but Getafe are holding firm for at least €20 million.
