Talented Super Eagles midfielder, Raphael Onyedika, has been crowned the Player of the Month for Club Brugge.

This recognition is no surprise, given his impressive consistency throughout the season, with 44 appearances across all competitions.

However, his phenomenal form in April truly caught people's attention.

The 23-year-old scored three goals in seven games, playing a crucial role in Brugge's six wins and one draw during the month. His outstanding performances earned him a nomination for the award alongside goalkeeper Nordin Jackers and Michal Skoras.

As reported by Soccernet, Onyedika emerged on top, beating out his competitors to claim the award for the first time since joining the club two seasons ago.

As Club Brugge pushes to reclaim the Belgian Jupiler League title and advances in the UEFA Conference League semifinals, Onyedika's continued brilliance will be crucial.

With his stock soaring, the club will likely face stiff competition from top clubs vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.

According to the Voetbalnieuws, the versatile midfielder is attracting interest from several Premier League clubs, including Everton, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest.

This interest adds to that of Turkish Super Lig giants Galatasaray. Onyedika, whom Club Brugge signed for around €10 million in 2022, is now expected to command fees estimated at €15mil.

The Super Eagles star was also linked with a move to Barcelona in the previous transfer window.

Premier League clubs such as Everton, Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest are reportedly interested in acquiring the Nigerian international, who could command fees upwards of €15 million.

Why Onyedika is the solution to Barcelona's midfield woes

Sports Brief explained why Onyedika would be Barcelona's ideal player.

The Catalan club faces another dilemma in their quest to fill the void left by former captain Sergio Busquets in the defensive midfield position.

Despite acquiring Oriol Romeu from Catalan neighbours Girona, the team has struggled to address the significant gap left by Busquets.
