Last season, Christantus Uche impressed with his performances at Getafe, attracting interest from many clubs across Europe.
Fulham, Leeds United, AC Milan, and Fenerbahçe all wanted to add the standout Nigerian player to their squads. However, Crystal Palace moved ahead of the competition with their offer. They reached an agreement with the player for €20 million, and Uche has travelled to England for his medical tests.
Uche’s transfer is truly a major success. Having started playing in Spain two seasons ago, he recorded 5 goals and 8 assists in La Liga last season. Now, he has earned the chance to play in the biggest league in the world.
Uche is a versatile player who can operate as a central midfielder, attacking midfielder, or forward. If he proves himself in the Premier League, he could soon find himself playing for even bigger clubs.
