English Premier League sides Fulham and Crystal Palace are reportedly preparing to go head-to-head in a bid to secure the signature of Super Eagles defender Chibuike Nwaiwu.
Both London clubs have set their sights on the Nigerian international to bolster their defensive options, according to a report by Pulse Nigeria. The interest sets up a potential transfer tussle between the two capital rivals as they look ahead to upcoming recruitment windows.
Nwaiwu has continued to attract attention across European football following his performances on the international stage with Nigeria. His steady profile in defense has now placed him firmly on the radar of English top-flight scouts seeking dependable reinforcements.
Fulham have frequently looked to Nigerian talent in recent seasons, with several Super Eagles stars playing key roles at Craven Cottage. Crystal Palace are also familiar with integrating African talent and are eager to strengthen their backline against domestic competition.
Neither club has officially submitted a formal bid, and terms have not yet been disclosed. The competition between the two London sides is expected to intensify as the transfer market approaches.
