Everton have entered the fray for Christantus Uche, the highly rated Nigerian midfielder whose breakout season at Getafe has sparked a bidding war among top European clubs.
The 22-year-old has quickly established himself as one of La Liga’s standout young talents, delivering an eye-catching debut campaign under José Bordalás. Uche featured in all 38 league matches, contributing four goals and seven assists—an impressive return for a defensive midfielder whose game is defined as much by discipline and positioning as by flair and forward drive.
His performances have drawn serious attention across Europe. Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Newcastle United, Brentford, and Leeds United, are all reportedly tracking him closely. Atlético Madrid has also registered strong interest from within Spain. Now, Everton have thrown their hat into the ring, identifying Uche as a priority target as they look to strengthen their midfield ahead of the 2025–26 season.
According to reports from Estadio Deportivo, Everton are expected to make a formal approach soon. The Toffees, rebuilding under a new footballing structure, see Uche as a long-term solution in the midfield anchor role—a player with the engine, awareness, and tactical discipline to thrive in the Premier League.
