English Premier League club, Wolverhampton Wanderers have submitted a €20 million bid for Getafe’s Nigerian midfielder, Christantus Uche, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Reliable transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development on X, stating:
“Wolves have submitted official bid to Getafe worth €20m for Christantus Uche. Negotiations underway to get deal done as #WWFC want new striker asap.”
Although Romano described Uche as a potential striker option, the 22-year-old is primarily known for his dynamic midfield play, combining defensive work rate with attacking flair.
Uche joined Getafe from Spanish side Ceuta last summer and quickly became a key player, scoring four goals in 33 league appearances. He was also instrumental in Getafe’s recent 2-0 win over Celta Vigo, where he registered a goal and an assist and was named Man of the Match.
The midfielder’s rise has caught the attention of several European clubs, but Wolves are currently leading the race as they aim to bolster their squad depth and add more creativity from midfield.
If completed, the deal would mark Uche’s first move to the Premier League and add to the growing number of Nigerian internationals making their mark in England’s top flight.
