Super Eagles: Frankfurt nears deal for Onyedika – why he will thrive in Bundesliga 

Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika is closing in on a move to German side Eintracht Frankfurt ahead of next season, Afrik-Foot reports.

The 25-year-old has been at the center of a summer transfer battle between the Bundesliga team and Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad, both aiming to sign him as a midfield reinforcement for the upcoming campaign.

Onyedika has entered the final year of his contract with Belgian champions Club Brugge, which has increased uncertainty around his future at the club.

Frankfurt, however, moved quickly to seal a deal ahead of Al Ittihad. According to reports, the German side are now nearing a agreement worth around €9 million plus add-ons to finalize the transfer.

This move marks the next chapter in Onyedika’s career and there are several reasons why the Super Eagles midfielder is primed to thrive at the Bundesliga club.

Onyedika: Why Super Eagles star will thrive at Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt have been keen on adding the Super Eagles midfielder to their ranks to strengthen their engine room ahead of next season. With the deal now on the verge of completion, it is easy to see how he could flourish and elevate his game to the next level in Germany.

One main reason why the 25-year-old will flourish is his versatility, which will be crucial in helping him settle quickly. While adapting to a new league can be challenging, Onyedika’s ability to operate both a defensive midfielder and a central midfielder makes him an ideal fit. 

This flexibility allows him to adapt easily whenever the manager makes adjustments to the system during matches.

Additionally, his style of play perfectly fits the high-octane and fast-paced transition football of the Bundesliga. His physical strength, ball-winning capacity and ability to break opposition attacks will allow him to slot in effortlessly and excel in Frankfurt’s system.

With only final details left to wrap up, Onyedika looks set to complete his move to Germany, bringing the skillset needed to make a immediate impact in the Bundesliga.
