Getafe’s Christantus Uche has been named in La Liga’s Team of the Week by WhoScored following his impactful performance in a 2-1 victory against Las Palmas on Sunday. The 21 year old Nigerian midfielder, often deployed as a forward, assisted the opening goal in the match, setting up Spanish winger Coba with a perfectly timed header in the 70th minute.
Since joining Getafe in the summer from lower league side Ceuta for €500,000, Uche has made 22 appearances across all competitions, contributing one goal and one assist. This latest display marked his first goal involvement since his debut goal against Athletic Bilbao in August 2024.
Uche shares the spotlight with teammates David Soria and other top performers, including Atlético Madrid’s Clément Lenglet and Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi, as part of a stellar eleven.
