Several Super Eagles stars could be on the move before the summer transfer window closes, with Samuel Chukwueze’s situation remaining one of the key stories to follow.
The 26-year-old winger is reportedly in line for a potential switch to Premier League side Fulham ahead of Monday evening’s deadline.
According to Times Sport’s Peter Rutzler and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chukwueze is currently in London as he prepares for possible medicals should AC Milan and Fulham reach an agreement before the window shuts.
Sports journalist Buchi Laba also reports that negotiations between the two clubs have been ongoing for days, but the deal hinges on the structure of the transfer. Fulham are pushing for a loan move with an option to buy, while Milan are demanding a loan with an obligation to buy for around €20 million.

Fulham remain hopeful of sealing two winger signings before the deadline — Chukwueze from Milan and Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk. Kevin is also in London, but his move is yet to be finalised as personal terms have not been fully agreed, meaning medicals are on hold for now.
For Chukwueze, this could be a second chance to join Fulham after the London side failed to secure his signature during the January transfer window, instead re-signing former Chelsea forward Willian at the time.
Chukwueze is among several Super Eagles players likely to secure moves on deadline day. Genk striker Tolu Arokodare is on the verge of joining Wolves on a permanent deal, while Rangers forward Cyriel Dessers is close to finalising a transfer to Greek giants Panathinaikos.
Meanwhile, Getafe midfielder Chrisantus Uche has already arrived in England to complete his proposed move to Crystal Palace, and Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi may be considering an exit as he continues to struggle for game time.
