Super Eagles midfielder Raphael Onyedika has emerged as a transfer target for Premier League side West Ham United, as the London club begins preparing for the possible departure of Czech international Tomas Soucek, reports TBR Football.
Onyedika, currently on the books of Belgian side Club Brugge, is reportedly open to a move this summer with two years remaining on his current deal. The 24-year-old’s growing profile has attracted attention beyond England, with Serie A giants AC Milan also monitoring him as a potential replacement for Tijjani Reijnders, who is reportedly closing in on a move to Manchester City.
The Nigerian international was one of Club Brugge’s standout performers in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League campaign, showcasing a blend of defensive tenacity, tactical awareness, and ball distribution that has drawn interest from top European clubs.
Onyedika joined Brugge in 2022 from Danish side FC Midtjylland and has since developed into a key figure in the Belgian Pro League. His versatility and composure in midfield have made him an appealing option for clubs looking to bolster their engine room ahead of the new season.
As the summer transfer window approaches, West Ham and AC Milan are expected to step up their interest, potentially setting the stage for a bidding contest for the Nigerian star.
