Some players are still in the transfer news and could make moves soon. Stars like Daniel Job, Joe Aribo, Terem Moffi, Emmanuel Fernandez, and even Victor Osimhen could get transfers in the coming days.

Emmanuel Fernandez To West Ham

From two English Championship games, West Ham have only managed one point. This just goes to show their defensive frailties. Now, they are eyeing Super Eagles defender Emmanuel Fernandez, who is currently at Rangers.

However, they are not the only one eyeing the big Nigerian defender. He has been linked to sides like Fenerbahce, Galatasaray, Chelsea, and Arsenal. But nothing concrete has emerged from the speculation. So it might be difficult for the Hammers to land his signature. Read more here.

What Next For Chidera Ejuke?

Throughout the summer transfer window, Chidera Ejuke’s future has been a major topic, as the club needs to sell players to comfortably meet up the the financial requirements to register players in La Liga.

So he has been expected to move. But he remains at the club despite links to several sides in Europe and Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, Sevilla coach Garcia Plaza who is a fan of the Super Eagles star has given him significant minutes in the club’s first two La Liga games of the season. On Saturday, he got off the bench to score for his side as they defeated Athletic Bilbao 3-1.

With Ejuke getting minutes at Sevilla, it is left to be seen whether he will still leave before the market closes. It is important to note that he has one year left on his contract.
