Aston Villa have made an enquiry about Club Brugge defensive midfielder Raphael Onyedika as Unai Emery looks to respond to Boubacar Kamara’s injury. The 24-year-old Nigeria international has impressed in Belgium and is also on Galatasaray’s radar. Kamara was forced off with a knee problem during last week’s FA Cup tie at Tottenham Hotspur, prompting Villa’s latest check on midfield options.
Aston Villa Ask About Raphael Onyedika After Kamara Injury Blow
Aston Villa are interested in signing Club Brugge defensive midfielder Raphael Onyedika, with the Premier League club making an enquiry about the 24-year-old. Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reported Villa’s check on the player in the wake of Boubacar Kamara’s injury, with Villa assessing options to bolster their midfield this month.
Kamara suffered the injury during last week’s FA Cup tie at Tottenham Hotspur. The midfielder was forced off with a knee issue, leaving Unai Emery to consider changes and potential reinforcements as Villa navigate the impact of losing a key option in the middle of the pitch.
Onyedika’s form for the Belgian side has attracted wider attention, with Galatasaray also hoping to sign him. The midfielder had previously been on West Ham’s list in the summer, underlining the level of interest in a player who has established himself at Club Brugge.
Club Brugge may be reluctant to part with an important player during the window. Onyedika is under contract until 2027, and it remains to be seen whether Villa will turn their enquiry into a formal move and what terms might be required to prise him away.
