Getafe head coach José Bordalás has once again emphasized the importance of Nigerian forward Chrisantus Uche to his plans, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Bordalás warned that letting Uche leave would create a major problem for the squad, as Premier League side Wolves close in on a deal worth just under €20 million.

The 24-year-old is expected to sign a five-year contract with the English club.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Uche featured against Sevilla at the weekend, playing the full 90 minutes. 

“Let’s hope he doesn’t leave. I’m against him leaving; he’s a very important player, and this becomes more difficult every day,”

Bordalás said after the match. “We can’t start from scratch every season without knowing the squad we’ll have. If Uche leaves, we have a very serious problem. I understand the situation, but we can’t be at the mercy of selling a player as important as Uche.”

Uche was a key figure for Getafe last season, making 33 La Liga appearances, scoring four goals, and providing six assists.
