Reports in Spain indicate that Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion are eager to acquire the services of Nigerian winger Chidera Ejuke.
The 26-year-old has been a revelation in La Liga since joining Sevilla at the start of the season, after CSKA Moscow loaned him to Royal Antwerp for the 2023/24 season before his contract with the Russian side expired.
Since his arrival in Spain, Ejuke has established himself as the top dribbler in La Liga, surpassing renowned stars like Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior of Real Madrid, and Barcelona's emerging talent, Lamine Yamal.
The reports further indicate that Ejuke is also on the radar of several European clubs eager to incorporate him into their setups.
