Brighton join Chelsea, Newcastle, and Aston Villa in the race for exciting Nigerian star

Brighton & Hove Albion have entered the race to sign Christantus Uche, joining Chelsea, Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Bournemouth in the pursuit of the exciting young midfielder currently shining at Getafe, Soccernet.ng reports.

Super Eagles prospect Uche, 21, has enjoyed a remarkable debut season in La Liga since his €500,000 move from Spanish third-tier side Ceuta last summer.

His performances have drawn the attention of several Premier League sides, with Chelsea reportedly already in contact with Getafe to discuss a potential move.

If the Blues succeed, Uche would join a growing contingent of Nigerian stars in England’s top flight.

However, Brighton, renowned for nurturing young talent, have emerged as serious contenders.

According to Fichajes, the Seagulls are prepared to make a significant investment to bring Uche to the Amex Stadium.

Brighton are reportedly impressed by his versatility, which allows him to excel both as a defensive midfielder and in more advanced attacking roles.

Uche’s growing reputation is no surprise. Despite making his La Liga debut only months ago, he has become a key figure in José Bordalás’ side, earning plaudits for his quick feet, vision, and goal-scoring ability.

Bordalás has often deployed the 21-year-old in attacking positions, to unleash his adaptability.

In September, Getafe placed a price tag of over €10 million on Uche.

This valuation, though steep, is unlikely to deter Premier League clubs with deep pockets eager to secure one of the season’s standout performers.

Brighton’s interest signals their intent to continue strengthening their squad with future-focused players, while Chelsea and others remain firmly in the hunt.

As the January transfer window approaches, Uche’s next destination is shaping up to be one of the key storylines to follow.
