Frank Onyeka is drawing strong interest from European clubs including Fiorentina, Stuttgart, and Premier League newcomers Burnley, NaijNaira can report.
The Brentford midfielder caught attention during a solid loan spell at Augsburg last season, delivering consistent performances across 34 games.
As first revealed by Soccernet.ng, Onyeka earned praise for his pressing, energy, and ability to break up play, even though his stats showed just two assists.
Fiorentina, Stuttgart, and Burnley are keeping close tabs as Onyeka weighs up his next move ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Brentford’s stance on letting him leave remains unclear, especially with their captain Christian Nørgaard in talks with Arsenal for a €11 million switch.
Nørgaard’s possible exit could open space in midfield, which might convince Brentford to retain Onyeka unless a suitable replacement is lined up quickly.
The 27-year-old also recently made his return to Nigeria’s national team under Eric Chelle, reclaiming his place after missing March qualifiers.
“I was surprised,” a Danish coach admitted, reacting to Chelle initially leaving Onyeka out of Nigeria’s squad.
He made his comeback in the Unity Cup and a friendly against Russia, making his case for a permanent spot in September’s qualifiers.
With 32 caps and a goal since his 2020 debut, Onyeka featured prominently in Nigeria’s run to the 2024 AFCON final.
Now, he’s targeting a club that offers regular football, aware that game time will decide both his club and international future this season.
