Chelsea and Newcastle United are reportedly one of the clubs to scout the highly rated getafe midfielders According to Soccer Espanna, Christus Uche.
The final tickets are still available for the Champions League Finals!
The 22-year-old has been shining in La Liga this season, and his impressive performances seem to have attracted attention from Premier League clubs.
The report suggests that Chelsea have monitored Uche in the past, but their interest may now have dipped slightly.
Still, the football espanas names Newcastle, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Brentford are other suitors who pay attention to Ushu’s progress.
This is a very rapid rise for the Nigerian youth who joined Getafe for 500,000 euros last summer.
Is Christantantus Uche set up for a massive Premier League transfer?
Overall, this appears to have a significant profit for Getafe this summer as the clubs line up to move for Uche.
As Football Espanna points out, the young midfielder has a release clause of 25 million euros on his contract, so the club needs to match that, or at least get very close to such a person.
It will be interesting to see if the English club is ready to pay such a money to someone who is still relatively young and inexperienced.
Instead, according to Soccer Espanana, Atletico Madrid could be something to watch to keep players in LaLiga.
Does Charsantus Uche need Chelsea and Newcastle?
Both Chelsea and Newcastle had a good season, playing in the Champions League, each earning silverware.
This probably means that the two clubs can aim for a slightly higher goal than players like Ushu. Ushu was probably the kind of profile they would look at better if they felt they were in a different situation.
Chelsea have invested a lot in their young prospects in the future, but they feel they need to offer a big trophy as soon as possible.
