Brentford rejects bids from Girona and Reims for Nigeria's 2023 AFCON star Frank Onyeka

Fulham and Everton also interested in signing the midfielder

Onyeka has played a key role for Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations

Brentford have turned down offers from Ligue 1 side Stade de Reims and La Liga surprise package Girona for Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka, who has been instrumental in Nigeria's advancement to the quarterfinals of the Africa Cup of Nations.

The Bees rejected late approaches from both French and Spanish sides, as well as interest from Premier League clubs Fulham and Everton. Despite struggling to break into Brentford's starting lineup this season, Onyeka remains a soughtafter player on both domestic and international fronts.

Girona currently sit atop La Liga standings but are looking to bolster their midfield options with an eye on bringing in Onyeka before the end of the transfer window. Meanwhile, Reims is seeking a replacement for Azor Matusiwa following his departure to Rennes earlier this month.

Onyeka's strong performances at AFCON have further heightened interest in him, despite his limited playing time at club level. He will need to work hard if he joins either Girona or Reims due to existing competition within their squads.

As negotiations continue between potential suitors and Brentford over a possible move for Oneyka, it remains clear that he is highly valued by multiple teams across Europe while simultaneously making significant contributions on behalf of his national team.
