West Ham, Schalke 04, and Genoa have inquired about George Ilenikhena, a 19-year-old Nigerian and French centre-forward. It is reported that Ilenikhena is keen to return to European football, but he intends to be cautious in his choice to ensure it aligns with his ambitions. His current club, Al Ittihad, which he joined in February 2026, is said to be willing to allow his departure this summer. A loan that includes a purchase option is being considered. Ilenikhena is under contract with the Saudi club until June 30, 2029, and his value is estimated by Transfermarkt at 10 million euros. In the 2025/2026 season, he scored 8 goals in 28 Jupiler Pro League appearances.
