Almeria striker Uche eyes Premier League

Kalu Uche will have the final decision on where his future will lie this summer. The highly-rated striker is tipped to be on the move over the coming weeks, having seen his international commitments with Nigeria reach a conclusion.

Uche, after an extended break, will head back to Spanish outfit Almeria.

Fulham and Hull City are reported to be keen on taking him to England, while Turkish giants Fenerbahce are believed to be in pole position to land his signature.

No formal bids have been lodged as yet, but Almeria are already preparing themselves for a flurry of bids.

It is believed that an offer of around £2.9m would be enough to force their hand, although Almeria president Afonso Garcia has admitted that the 27 year old will have the final say in any deal.

"We need to analyse everything carefully and stay calm," he said.

"But it is normal that the player decides where they go."
