Getafe midfielder Christantus Uche, who has been linked with the Premier League quartet of Chelsea, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Newcastle United, is now on the radar of SS Lazio and Real Sociedad, reports BSNSports.com.ng.

According to Spain's Mundo Deportivo, Italy's SS Lazio and Real Sociedad are monitoring the situation of the 21-year-old midfielder.

Sociedad who is keen to offload Super Eagles striker Sadiq Umar, sees the Nigerian prodigy as an ideal candidate to strengthen their squad as they are looking for quality and young talent in the midfield.

Although other European clubs have expressed interest, Real Sociedad seems to be the most earnest and consistent in their pursuit.

The winter transfer window could potentially initiate formal negotiations between the two clubs, with Real Sociedad prepared to make a concerted effort to acquire the promising Nigerian talent.
