Noah Atubolu, Freiburg goalkeeper, draws Premier League interest from Chelsea and Tottenham, keeping his Nigerian national eligibility
SC Freiburg goalkeeper Noah Atubolu has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, DAILY POST reports.
The 23-year-old shot stopper is currently regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the German Bundesliga.
Atubolu featured in Freiburg’s 5-1 win over Belgian side KRC Genk in a UEFA Europa League clash on Thursday night, further cementing his reputation for reflexes and composure under pressure.
Born in Germany to Nigerian parents, he remains eligible to play for the Super Eagles despite representing Germany at youth level.
Premier League scouts have reportedly monitored Atubolu’s performances in both domestic and European competitions, noting his agility, shot-stopping ability, and command of the penalty area.
Sources suggest that both Chelsea and Tottenham are keen to bolster their goalkeeping options ahead of the next season.
Atubolu’s potential move to England could offer him a platform to compete at the highest level while keeping his international future open for Nigeria.
