Premier League sides West Ham United and Everton FC are currently leading the race to sign Raphael Onyedika from Club Brugge.
Sources reveal that West Ham have made the most concrete approach for the Nigerian international, and discussions are ongoing over a potential summer transfer.
Club Brugge are reportedly holding out for a fee in the region of €30 million.
The 24-year-old has developed into a well-rounded midfield disruptor, combining tenacity off the ball with technical quality in possession.
His calm distribution and positional awareness have made him one of the standout midfielders in the Belgian Pro League.
Since joining Club Brugge from FC Midtjylland in 2022, Onyedika has grown into a key figure at the club, impressing both in domestic competition and in Europe.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, with several European clubs previously linked to the player, including AC Milan and Galatasaray.
However, it is West Ham and Everton who now appear to be in pole position to secure his services, with both clubs seeking to strengthen their midfield departments this summer.
If the move is finalized, Onyedika would become one of the most expensive Nigerian midfielders to join the Premier League.
