Transfer news: Chidera Ejuke eyed by Bayer Leverkusen & top Premier League trio

Published on by

Super Eagles winger Chidera Ejuke has become a prominent subject in recent transfer news, with multiple clubs from Europe’s top five leagues monitoring his situation, Afrik-Foot reports.

​Ejuke’s time at Sevilla has been inconsistent. Since joining the club, he has recorded three goals and two assists in 54 appearances.

During the recently concluded season, his role was largely peripheral, as he featured in 29 matches and contributed only one goal and one assist. Although he failed to produce the numbers regularly, it was a club thing, as Sevilla badly struggled last season and even narrowly survived relegation.

​Given these struggles, there has been speculations of a possible exit, and a departure appears increasingly likely.

Although the 28-year-old was initially linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, he is now attracting significant interest from clubs in Europe’s top five leagues.

These clubs are impressed by the former CSKA Moscow man’s technical flair, pace, and ability to disrupt defensive lines with his unpredictability.

​Reports from Ontheminute suggest that Chidera Ejuke is a target for several European clubs, with Bayer Leverkusen reportedly leading the race to secure his signature.

​However, the German side faces stiff competition. English clubs like Fulham, Sunderland, and Leeds United, have also registered interest in the attacker. As the transfer window opens, these clubs may find themselves in a bidding war for his services.

​Ejuke is a financially viable option for the interested clubs. He is currently valued at €4 million by Transfermarkt, and with only one year remaining on his contract, Sevilla is expected to set an affordable asking price.

​Los Nervionenses are under pressure to generate funds this summer due to La Liga’s stringent financial rules. As such, they will be willing to accept a deal.
