Transfer: West Ham Want Raphael Onyedika, Tolu Arokodare Wanted At Dortmund
As the summer transfer window approaches, West Ham United is keeping an eye on Raphael Onyedika, a midfielder for Club Brugge.
Raphael Onyedika is a great asset after yet another successful season with coach Nicky Hayen, particularly after his outstanding UEFA Champions League exploits.
The 24-year-old defensive midfielder Onyedika was instrumental in Blauw-Zwart’s victory last month and is helping Club Brugge win the Belgian Pro League for the second time in a row.
West Ham may have fierce competition from AC Milan, who are also interested in the gifted Nigerian international, according to reports from Voetbalkrant.
Onyedika has continued to improve his profile since joining Club Brugge in 2022 from Danish team Midtjylland.
Another development is that Christopher Nkunku has received counsel from former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda, who suggests he think about joining Arsenal.
Malouda thinks that Nkunku would fit in well with the Gunners and Bayern Munich.
Although he admits that a transfer may be advantageous, he also stresses that Nkunku needs to evaluate his standing at Chelsea and the value of consistent play, particularly with the World Cup approaching next year.
Malouda said, “I’m not sure if leaving Chelsea is the right decision, but Arsenal or Bayern Munich would be ideal destinations for him.”
“As a player, I adore Nkunku, and I hope he fights for his spot and shows off his early promise. Like Jadon Sancho, he appears to be overcoming some mental obstacles.
While there is rivalry at Bayern, the player must prioritize his or her own development because adjusting to a new environment is difficult. He might advance with the support of teams like Arsenal or Bayern Munich as they get ready for the next World Cup.

Nkunku currently finds the most of his playing time in cup games as he struggles to earn a berth in Enzo Maresca’s starting eleven. He wants to play more frequently and is thinking about making a move to get there.
Additionally, Tolu Arokodare, a striker for KRC Genk, has drawn interest from Bundesliga team Borussia Dortmund.
With 22 goals and seven assists this season, the Nigerian international is presently leading the Belgian Pro League in scoring.
After nearly joining Trabzonspor last summer but ultimately choosing to remain at Genk under manager Thorsten Fink, Arokodare has drawn interest from clubs in both England and Turkey.
Borussia Dortmund has identified Arokodare as a target for the 2025–2026 campaign, according to Transfermarkt.
Genk are apparently open to selling their outstanding striker for the appropriate offer, despite though Arokodare has a contract with the club until 2027.
