This midfielder, capable of also playing in a central position, brings the versatility and dynamism that Premier League teams seek in a "box-to-box" player, a role highly valued in English football. Reports indicate that Uche's release clause is set at 25 million euros, a considerably low figure compared to other targets in the market, such as Maccabi Tel Aviv's talent Oscar Gloukh and the promising Kenan Yildiz, who both clubs have also shown interest in.
