Chelsea have made an enquiry for Christantus Uche after the midfielder’s eye-catching start to life at Getafe.

Uche completed a ?500,000 (£417,000) move from third-tier Ceuta to Getafe back in June, with the Nigerian putting pen to paper on a four-year contract at the Estadio Coliseum.

The 21-year-old has hit the ground running at Getafe and already established himself as an integral member of Jose Bordalas’ squad, starting every match of the club’s La Liga campaign thus far.

According to Spanish publication Relevo, Uche’s meteoric rise has not gone unnoticed among Europe’s elite and Chelsea are among the teams gathering information on the highly rated youngster.
Chelsea are said to be ‘following Uche closely’ and the report suggests his powerful combination of strength and speed would ‘fit perfectly’ in the Premier League.

It’s claimed the Blues ‘did not want to miss the opportunity’ to learn about Uche’s situation given the player’s extraordinary emergence in recent months.

However, the Nigeria Under-23 international remains ‘happy’ and is ‘only thinking’ about Getafe for the time being, with the side looking to extend their unbeaten streak to four games at home to Valencia this weekend.
