Getafe attacking midfielder Christantus Uche has been attracting considerable interest from Premier League sides after his performances this season.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Christantus Uche has emerged as a target for Aston Villa and Newcastle United. The summer signing at Getafe has been immense for the club so far this season, prompting talk of a January move to the Premier League.
Christantus Uche only joined Getafe in the summer from Spanish third-tier club AD Ceuta FC for €500,000. While not many expected him to hit the ground running soon, the attacking midfielder has done the opposite by becoming a key star for the La Liga club.
While he started the current La Liga season with a goal in the opening game against ASthletic Club, the attacking midfielder has yet to score or assist since. However, the player’s influence on the team and the pitch has been immense, enough to bring some Premier League sides to consider making a move in January.
Chelsea have shown interest before, although Newcastle United and Aston Villa hold concrete interest in the 21-year-old La Liga midfielder. Uche can also play as a central midfielder, which allows some English clubs to consider developing him into a box-to-box midfielder suited to the English game.
As per Transfermarkt, Uche has a €25 million release clause that will be active in the January window. While English sides like Aston Villa and Newcastle United have a big chance of finding a way to reduce that sum, Getafe, with a sale, will maximise its potential to make a massive profit on its €500,000 investment in the summer.
Aston Villa Newcastle United are keen on an attacking midfielder
Aston Villa and Newcastle United are two of the Premier League sides intently searching for an attacking midfielder ahead of January. The duo are linked with Oscar Gloukh, while there are more names on their collective list.
Aston Villa are also keen on Kenan Yildiz, with the player reportedly available for a fee of €60-70 million. Considering that sum, an investment in Uche might seem cheaper. At the same time, the player has already shown he has the mentality to adapt to the big stage, especially after coming from a third-tier Spanish side and being thrown straight into La Liga action at a tender age.
