English Premier League side Crystal Palace, are reportedly showing strong interest in Super Eagles mid elder, Frank Onyeka, Soccernet.ng reports.
The Nigerian star has had an impressive campaign in the Bundesliga with FC Augsburg, where he has played 29 games, and has scored two goals for Jess Thorup’s troops.
Per Africa Foot, this has piqued the interest of Oliver Glasner, who are looking to bolster their mid eld options ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window.
Having joined the German side on a loan move from Brentford to secure more playing time away from Brentford, it has been expected for him to stay longer for regular playing time and boost his chances for a national team call-up.
However, earlier reports from Soccernet.ng revealed that the Nigeria international is more likely to return to England than stay for another season on loan or a permanent deal at the WWK Arena. Meanwhile, Onyeka’s commanding performances in Germany have piqued the interest of Palace, who might offer him more playing time and end his
stint at Brentford. The Abuja- born mid elder, who has 26 caps and one goal for the Super Eagles of Nigeria, has re-established himself with Augsburg after a challenging spell at Brentford.
The future of the Super Eagles star now hinges on Brentford’s decision and the negotiations that may unfold between the clubs.
