Keep an Eye on Raphael Onyedika, the Sought-After Midfielder!
Hammers Eyeing Onyedika: West Ham United interested in Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika; Dortmund also considering acquiring Tolu Arokodare
Gear up, football fans! With the summer transfer window nearing, West Ham United has listed Club Brugge's Raphael Onyedika as a prime target.
After a stellar season under Nicky Hayen, Onyedika's value has skyrocketed, especially following his impressive showings in the UEFA Champions League. The 24-year-old defensive midfielder played a crucial role in Club Brugge's victory of the Belgian Cup last month and their pursuit of a consecutive Belgian Pro League title.
But it's not just West Ham eyeing this talented Nigerian international. AC Milan is also vying for Onyedika's signature, creating an intense competition for his services.
Fans of Danish football may recall that Onyedika joined Club Brugge from Midtjylland in 2022, and his reputation has only grown since.
Meanwhile, former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda has shared some wisdom about Christopher Nkunku, suggesting he contemplate a move to Arsenal. With Bayern Munich also in the mix, Malouda believes that either club could be ideal destinations for Nkunku. However, he cautions Nkunku to weigh the importance of regular playing time, especially with the World Cup coming up next year.
Nkunku is currently battling for a spot in Enzo Maresca's starting eleven, frequently finding himself on the bench, and exploring transfer opportunities to secure more game time.
In other news, Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund has expressed an interest in KRC Genk striker Tolu Arokodare. The Nigerian international sensation is enjoying a remarkable season, leading the league as the top scorer with 22 goals and seven assists. Arokodare has caught the attention of clubs in England and Turkey, with Trabzonspor missing out on a deal with him last summer, deciding to stay under Thorsten Fink at Genk. Transfermarkt reports that Borussia Dortmund lists Arokodare as a target for the 2025-2026 season, with Genk open to selling him for a substantial offer, even though his contract binds him to the club until 2027.
