Getafe attacker Christantus Ugonna Uche is reportedly set for a move to Crystal Palace on transfer deadline day.
The 22-year-old is known to be of interest to the FA Cup holders and Leeds United, who are back competing in the Premier League.
Uche has played three matches for Getafe this season, continuing on despite transfer speculation, providing two goal contributions.
The Nigeria international enjoyed his most productive campaign to date in 2024-25, scoring four goals and bagging six assists.
As mentioned, Uche has featured for his country, playing two times for the Super Eagles, making his debut in May of this year.

Leeds, Crystal Palace discover Uche destination?
According to Italy-based journalist Matteo Moretto, Uche has decided on his destination ahead of a move away from Getafe.
The report claims that the towering forward is on his way to complete a medical in the United Kingdom for a Premier League side.
The club in question is supposedly Crystal Palace, who are in the market for reinforcements following the departure of Eberechi Eze to Arsenal.
Such developments are a major blow to the transfer plans of Daniel Farke's side, with Leeds looking to bolster for their period back in the big time.
It is understood that the Eagles will fork out around £15.5m for the services of 22-year-old striker Uche on transfer deadline day.

Leeds failed attempts
Leeds are on a mission to secure at least one more attacking star before the end of the summer transfer window at 7pm on September 1.
The Whites were supposedly keen on the talents of Bilal El Khannous from Leicester City, although the Moroccan is heading towards a move to Stuttgart in Germany.
A lack of cutting edge has been an issue for Farke's men so far, so the addition of another forward player could be vital in their survival fight.
