Many Newcastle United supporters have been discussing some transfer news that has emerged on social media recently.
Reports in Nigeria recently emerged about centre-back Udoka Chima, stating that Newcastle invited the player to take part in pre-season training with the aim of offering him a contract. But Championship side Coventry City have also expressed their interest in the player, who was released by Burnley at the end of the 2019/20 Premier League season.
Are you angry at this news?
Yes
No
Chima will train at Newcastle this summer, the report claims, but he will also train with Coventry from 5th July.
This news was reported by NUFC 360 and many Toon fans made their views clear about this update.
What did NUFC fans make of this news about Chima?
“We’ve a lot to say about the last free agent we got from Burnley haha.”
Many of these Newcastle fans aren’t happy with this news and are mocking the club for going after players that might not be at their level.
During his time at Burnley, though, Chima was playing for the Under-18s side and never played for the club’s first-team, having been without a club since then. Because of that, it is tough to see him playing for the Newcastle first-team and he may be more likely to turn out for the Under-23s side.
So the club’s fans should consider this factor, as Chima may not be expected to play for the first-team right away.
