Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and Tottenham are monitoring Chibuike Nwaiwu, a 23-year-old Nigerian centre-back. Negotiations are being delayed by Trabzonspor's asking price. The club is understood to be seeking a package worth €30m and rejected an €18m bid from Fulham last week, which makes a deal difficult to conclude. Nwaiwu has three caps for Nigeria. He joined the club in January 2026 for a reported €5.5 million, and his contract is valid until 2030. In June 2026, a €30 million bid from West Ham was reportedly rejected. Fulham also had previous offers of €15 million and €20 million turned down. His current market value is €10.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
