The English Championship club is reportedly keen on signing Nigerian winger Christian Nwachukwu from Bulgarian club Botev Plovdiv as they look to strengthen their attacking options, The Telegraph reports.
The 19-year-old has impressed in the Bulgarian top flight this season, contributing four goals and three assists across all competitions. Known for his pace, dribbling ability, and versatility, Nwachukwu can operate effectively on both wings and even play in a more central attacking role. According to Transfermarkt the young Nigerian is valued at €500,000.
With Sheffield United pushing for a return to the Premier League, the club sees the young Nigerian as a valuable addition who could provide an extra spark in their final push for promotion. Talks between the two clubs are ongoing, and the Blades are hopeful of securing a deal before the transfer window closes.
Nwachukwu’s potential move to England would mark a significant step in his career, offering him the chance to develop in one of the most competitive footballing environments. If the deal goes through, he would join the growing list of Nigerian talents making their mark in European football.
