In a move that could see Osaze Urhoghide make his return to English football, Championship clubs Bristol City and Swansea are reportedly eyeing the 24-year-old defender, who has been making waves in Ligue 2 with Amiens. The former Celtic player has impressed this season, scoring three goals in 18 appearances across all competitions.

Urhoghide’s solid performances have sparked interest from both clubs, with Bristol City and Swansea seeking defensive reinforcements ahead of the January transfer window’s close. The teams, currently sitting ninth and twelfth in the Championship standings, are aiming to strengthen their backlines as they push for a Premier League spot.

The versatile defender, who is capable of playing across the backline, could prove to be a valuable asset for either club. However, securing his signature will be no easy feat, as he is still under contract with Amiens until June 2026.

Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands, Urhoghide qualifies to represent Nigeria, England, or the Netherlands on the international stage. Although he has not yet played for any national team, he trained with Nigeria’s Olympic squad in 2019. A return to English football could significantly increase his chances of earning a call-up to the Super Eagles, particularly as the team prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with matches against Zimbabwe and Rwanda on the horizon.

As the window ticks down, Urhoghide’s future remains uncertain, but one thing is clear—his impressive performances have put him in the spotlight as a player to watch in the coming months.
