Valencia Move for Brentford’s Onyeka Amid AFCON 2025 Shine

Valencia have stepped up their interest in Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka, approaching the Premier League club over a possible move.

The Spanish side are keen to strengthen their midfield options and see the Nigerian international as a potential addition, though discussions have yet to progress as Onyeka has been away at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The 28-year-old featured in four of Nigeria’s six matches at the tournament, including their semi-final defeat to Morocco, and his performances have caught the eye of several clubs.

Valencia are expected to face competition from England, with Championship sides Birmingham City and Coventry City also monitoring the situation closely.

Onyeka has struggled for regular minutes at Brentford, making just six Premier League appearances this season after spending last year out on loan.

His future now looks set to be decided in the coming weeks, with interest building both at home and abroad.
