Several Premier League clubs, including Aston Villa and Newcastle United, are reportedly interested in Getafe midfielder Chrisantus Uche, according to Spanish sports outlet Mundo Deportivo.
The 21-year-old Nigerian has gained significant attention in La Liga this season for his strong performances, drawing interest from abroad.

Uche joined Getafe this past summer in a €500,000 transfer, proving to be a valuable addition.
While he has scored just once in La Liga, his aggressive style and dynamic play have made him one of the league’s most fouled players, highlighting his effectiveness on the pitch.
Uche’s release clause is reportedly set at €25 million—a relatively modest fee in the current market, especially for the Premier League clubs.
With Villa and Newcastle expressing interest, Getafe will hope they can meet the valuation and reinvest the funds back into the game.
With Uche’s skill and potential to make an impact in the Premier League, the young midfielder could be an appealing acquisition for either Villa or Newcastle in the upcoming transfer windows.
