Christantus Uche / Getafe

Christantus Uche, the 22-year-old attacking midfielder from Getafe, touched down in London on September 1, 2025, to finalize his transfer to Crystal Palace. The London club has reached an agreement with his formative club for a fee of around €20 million.

Christantus Uche is in London this Monday to complete his move to Crystal Palace. The Getafe player has given his approval and the medical formalities are expected to be wrapped up during the day.

The Spanish club reportedly approved the deal to resolve their player registration issues. The 22-year-old Nigerian international had been scouted by several English sides, including Wolverhampton and Leeds, but it was the London club that won the race. Uche landed in the British capital to undergo his medical and put pen to paper on his contract. Crystal Palace is counting on him to bolster their attacking options, weakened by Eberechi Eze’s move to Arsenal.
