Chelsea are scouting a 21-year-old Nigerian midfielder who is having a breakthrough season

The center of Getafe Chrisantus Uche is one of the stories of the season in Spain, and that story reaches ears and eyes even further. The 21-year-old is enjoying a fine debut campaign under Jose Bordalas, having scored on his top-flight debut.

I know remarkable increase attracted a lot of attention, but according to Matteo Moretto on Reliefso it has its form. Several sides have been watching the young midfielder, who has become a fixture for Los Azulones, including the Nigerian national team, with the Super Eagles considering a call. Another interested party is the English giants Chelsea. The Blues have a form of spending on young talents who are raw with a high upside, and in this sense, Uche fits the bill, with his speed and power made for the Premier League.

It is not yet clear what the value of Uche's release clause is, but no doubt a number of teams will consider him as a potential healthy investment. Getafe have faced salary cap issues over the last 12 months, and having signed for just €500,000 in February, they will make a handsome profit on him if he goes anywhere. A new favorite of the fans at the Coliseum, Bordalas and Getafe will hope that he stays for a while.
