Chidera Ejuke: 16-time Dutch champions to battle Premier League clubs for Super Eagles star

Published on by

Super Eagles attacker Chidera Ejuke has emerged as a serious target for Dutch Eredivisie giants Feyenoord, Afrik-Foot reports.

​Ejuke’s future at Sevilla appears to be hanging in the balance, as he looks set to leave the club at the end of the summer.

He joined Los Nervionenses on a free transfer two summers ago, and it has been an unsteady time so far.

While he has had stints where he looked impressive and earned significant playing time, there have also been periods where he has struggled to secure a place in the starting XI.

​This season has been rough; he has featured in 26 games across all competitions, with one goal and one assist to his name.

With just over a year until his contract expires, Sevilla has yet to make an offer. Moreover, the club needs to balance its financial books and must make some sales.

​Feyenoord, Others Want Chidera Ejuke

​While recent reports have linked clubs from Saudi Arabia and Qatar to Ejuke for a potential summer move, they are not the only ones keeping tabs on the Super Eagles star.

​According to Football Transfers, Feyenoord has emerged as a potential destination. The former Eredivisie champions like his qualities and believe he would be a good addition to their squad.

Also, the exciting 28-year-old winger has experience in the Eredivisie, having played for Heerenveen for a year before moving to CSKA Moscow in 2022.

​However, Feyenoord may have to compete with English clubs, as several mid-table sides are reportedly monitoring him and could explore a deal this summer.

​Ejuke would likely arrive at an affordable price, as he is valued at €4 million on Transfermarkt. Sevilla might even be willing to settle for less, given that they did not pay a transfer fee to acquire him.
