Spanish second-tier side Levante UD remains keen on securing the services of Nigerian winger Ehije Ukaki, despite competition from other clubs.
The 20-year-old, currently playing for Bulgarian club Botev Plovdiv, was the subject of transfer interest during the January window.
While a move did not materialize, Levante continues to monitor the promising youngster.
A Rising Star in Bulgaria
Ukaki has made a notable impact in his debut season with Botev Plovdiv, featuring in 23 matches and scoring four goals. Although primarily an attacking player, his versatility has seen him deployed as a right-back on occasion.
His adaptability and strong performances have made him a key figure for the Bulgarian club.
Born on October 2, 2004, Ukaki began his football journey with Nigeria’s Collins Edwin Sports Club before moving to Russian side FDC Vista, where he completed his development.
In 2023, he joined Botev Plovdiv and quickly established himself as an important asset to the team.
Key Contributor to Botev Plovdiv’s Success
Ukaki played a pivotal role in Botev Plovdiv’s Bulgarian Cup triumph, helping the club secure a place in the UEFA Europa League qualifiers.
His dynamic playing style and ability to operate in multiple positions have made him indispensable to his team.
Levante’s Continued Pursuit
Despite strong interest from other European clubs, Levante remains determined to bring Ukaki to Spain.
The Segunda División side sees him as a valuable addition to their squad, given his technical ability and potential for further development.
With Ukaki continuing to impress in Bulgaria, speculation over his next move is likely to intensify as the summer transfer window approaches.
