Leeds United Transfer News, Fabrizio Romano confirms tough fight to land striker Christantus Uche, after Premier League side Wolves made the first big move.
The Whites have been watching the Getafe forward closely, but things have now got more complicated.
Leeds United Transfer News: Fabrizio Romano Confirms Uche impresses in Spain
Uche, a 22-year-old forward from Nigeria, had a strong season with Spanish club Getafe.
He scored four goals and made seven assists in 38 games last season.
His pace and skill caught the eyes of many clubs, and he started this season in the same way.
Just last week, Uche scored and assisted in a 2-0 win against Celta Vigo. Getafe boss Jose Bordalas was full of praise after the game.
He said Uche is trusted by his teammates and is an important player for the squad.
But despite that, Getafe are facing money problems.
Reports say the club need to sell players before they can register new signings.
That has put Uche’s future in doubt, and opened the door for other clubs to make offers.

Wolves make their move
Now it looks like Wolves are leading the race.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealed that Wolves have put in a bid of around £17.3 million for Uche.
Talks are already going on between the Premier League club, Getafe, and Uche’s representatives.
Romano said Wolves want a new striker as soon as possible, and Uche is one of their top targets.
The club have struggled in attack and see the Nigerian as a strong option to boost their forward line.
Where does this leave Leeds?
Leeds United have already been busy this transfer window.
Daniel Farke’s side brought in Noah Okafor from AC Milan, Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free, and striker Lukas Nmecha from Wolfsburg.
Fabrizio Romano said, “Even with those signings, Leeds are still looking for one more attacker before deadline day.”
Uche has been on their list, but Wolves moving first could be a big problem.
If Getafe accept the Wolves bid, Leeds may have to act quickly or risk losing out on a player they have been monitoring for weeks.
Fans will be watching closely
Leeds supporters will be frustrated if the club miss out again, especially after losing other targets earlier in the summer.
With the transfer window closing soon, time is running out.
Farke has said he wants more attacking power in the squad, and Uche could have been a good fit.
For now, all eyes will be on Getafe, Wolves, and Uche himself.
The story is still developing, but Leeds United might need to make a big decision fast.
