Northampton Town of England youngster, Caleb Chukwuemeka could be on his way to joining Emmanuel Dennis Bonaventure and David Chidozie Okereke at Club Brugge of Belgium, as the champions are reportedly interested in signing him on loan, megasportsarena.com reports.
The Belgian champions join a host of clubs in England chasing the 18-year-old striker, including a team in the English Premier League side and Championship leaders Norwich City, who are keen on the fact that he is yet to sign a professional contract.
A report by Sky Sports added: “Chukwuemeka has broken through this season scoring twice for Northampton in 17 appearances with his first goal coming against Southampton in the EFL Trophy, with The Cobblers finding themselves 19th in Sky Bet League One.
“Northampton’s officials told Sky Sports News they are yet to receive any official approaches and talks continue with the player over the signing of a professional contract before his scholarship deal ends in 2022.
“Club Brugge played in the Champions League this season, narrowly missing out on qualification to the last 16 to Borussia Dortmund and Lazio, and subsequently face Dynamo Kyiv in the UEFA Europa League last 32 first-leg on December 18.
“They were awarded the Belgian Pro League title in May after the league board decided to end the 2019/20 season early, and they are currently top of the table after 19 games since the new campaign got underway.
“Sunderland marked their return to action with a drab goalless Sky Bet League One draw at struggling Northampton, who are now bound to lose Chukwuemeka, should interest from Brugge turn out to be concrete and successful.”
