Chukwueze, Onuachu Likely To Join Eagles EPL Legion

The number of Super Eagles players in the English Premier League may likely rise to 10 following the interest of English clubs in more Nigerian footballers.
Oghenekaro Etebo and Emmanuel Dennis signed for Watford this summer, while Frank Onyeka joined Brentford last Tuesday, increasing the number of Eagles players in the EPL to eight.
William Troost-Ekong and Isaac Success were promoted to the EPL with Watford, while Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester), Alex Iwobi (Everton) remained at their clubs from last season.
Tidesports source gathered that Samuel Chukwueze, Paul Onuachu and Sadiq Umar are being targeted by clubs in the EPL.
While Onuachu was banging in goals for Belgian side, Genk last season, there were reports that Arsenal was interested in him, an interest which has since cooled off.
Watford Observer, however, reported earlier this month that Watford, which already has five Nigerian-born players, have shown interest in the 27-year-old.
Chukwueze is also on the radar of Everton as new manager Rafael Benitez looks for a replacement for James Rodriguez, who is reportedly interested in leaving the club.
