There could be a lot of thanking the right-wing powers in the Premier League if Leeds or Crystal Palace land a transfer for the very religious Getafe striker Christantus Ugonna Uche.
The 22-year-old has had a prolific start for the Spanish club in La Liga this summer, with one goal and one assist in three games.

The Nigerian scored four goals and provided six assists in 33 La Liga games last season, as well as five games in the Copa del Rey.
Since his transfer from lower-division club AD Ceuta just 12 months ago, Uche has impressed greatly in the top division.
Leeds and Crystal Palace fighting for Uche?
According to reports in Spain via The Leeds Press, a recently promoted club and the FA Cup champions are interested in signing the La Liga star.
The report claims that Leeds and Crystal Palace want to secure Uche’s services before the summer transfer window closes.
It is understood that Wolverhampton Wanderers were in the race for the 22-year-old, but that the Black Country is no longer a possible destination for the player.
As a result, it is claimed that Leeds and Palace are left as suitors for Uche, ready to fight for the Nigerian talent’s services.
Getafe are seemingly reluctant to lose one of their brightest attackers at a low price this summer, reportedly wanting to receive £15.5 million for the player.
Where can Uche play?
Despite his impressive physique, Uche hasn’t always played as a central striker since arriving at Getafe last summer.
Leeds, who currently lack sharpness in the Premier League, could benefit from Uche’s potential arrival in the coming days.
