Eintracht Frankfurt are once again keeping a keen eye on Club Brugge’s defensive linchpin, Raphael Onyedika, as they brace for a potential significant departure from their midfield engine room.
The Bundesliga outfit, whose management previously expressed interest in the Nigerian international last summer, have placed the 24-year-old high on their transfer shortlist. The renewed focus comes as the future of young Swedish star Hugo Larsson grows increasingly uncertain.
Larsson has been the subject of numerous enquiries from across the continent, and the consensus at the Deutsche Bank Park suggests a lucrative summer transfer from the pitch appears highly likely.
Should the young Swede depart, the club will move swiftly to secure Onyedika, whose stamina and defensive verve are viewed as the ideal qualities to fill the impending void in the Eagles’ central rearguard. The move would offer the Nigerian an exciting new Test Match in German football.
