Club Brugge Courting FC Midtjylland's POTY Who Is A Liverpool Fan And Idolises Chelsea's Kante

Published: August 07, 2020

Belgian champions Club Brugge are courting Nigeria U23 invitee Frank Onyeka but the midfielder's asking price could prove a stumbling block in their bid to sign him from FC Midtjylland, according to reports.

Het Nieuwsblad says Club Brugge have made a 3.5 million euros bid for Onyeka but the Wolves are demanding 8-10 million euros before shredding their agreement with the Nigerian.

Onyeka was the star of FC Midtjylland's title winning squad in the recently concluded season and was officially named the club's Player of the Year.

The 22-year-old has racked up 82 appearances for FC Midtjylland since breaking into the first team following his move from cooperative club FC Ebedei and has tallied 13 goals.

Onyeka's ambition is to play in the Premier League in the coming years, with Liverpool his dream club, and he idolises Chelsea star N'Golo Kante.

In a question and answer session with ronaldo.com earlier this year, Onyeka said when asked to name his dream club: "Liverpool. Because of the way they play, which is also my style of play.

"My first step should be to get to a league where I can play regularly. In five years, I dream of playing in the Premier League."

On his biggest role model in football, he said : "N'Golo Kanté from Chelsea and the French national team. His style of play is something I want to achieve in the future, and I know it can be done."

Queens Park Rangers' Nigerian-born winger Bright Osayi-Samuel is also attracting huge interest from Club Brugge in the summer transfer window.
