Premier League and Bundesliga Clubs Monitoring Nigeria International Ahead of January Window.

Ryan Alebiosu

Ryan Alebiosu has emerged as a transfer target for several clubs as the January 2026 window approaches, with Everton and VfL Wolfsburg reportedly showing strong interest in the Blackburn Rovers defender.

The 24-year-old right-back, a former Arsenal academy product, has impressed in the Championship this season since joining Blackburn from Belgian side KV Kortrijk in the summer on a three-year deal. Alebiosu has featured in 20 appearances for Valerien Ismael’s side, contributing one goal and establishing himself as a key performer with his attacking runs and defensive solidity.

According to reports from ESPN, Italian Serie A outfits Sassuolo and Genoa are also keeping tabs on the player’s situation. Blackburn Rovers are expected to value their asset at around £4 million, reflecting his rapid adaptation and potential.

Currently, Alebiosu is on international duty with Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, where he made his Super Eagles debut despite a minor injury concern. Any concrete moves from interested parties are likely to be postponed until his return from the tournament to allow for proper assessments and negotiations.

This growing interest underscores Alebiosu’s rising stock, offering him potential steps up to top-flight football in the Premier League, Bundesliga, or Serie A.
