Hoffenheim secures relegation and chases Chukwuani from Graz!

Graz, Österreich - On May 21, 2025, TSG Hoffenheim secured relegation in the Bundesliga. The association is now looking for reinforcements for the coming season to further improve. The focus is particularly on Tochi Phil Chukwuani, a 22-year-old midfielder of Sturm Graz. According to a report by Krone , sports director Andreas Schicker and coach Christian Ilzer have a serious interest in the Danish talent. Chukwuani played 35 games for Graz this season and could make a decisive contribution to strengthening the team.

The football player, born in Herlev, Denmark, grew up in a Nigerian family. Chukwuani started his career in B.93's youth before moving to the renowned youth academy of FC Nordsjælland. Already at the age of 14 he trained with the first team and was praised by coach Flemming Pedersen as "one of the best players of the future". In July 2019, Chukwuani signed a three-year contract with Nordsjælland and gave his professional debut in the Danish Superliga in September 2019. This marked the beginning of his rising career, while his first goal and further success followed.

interest of several clubs

The interest of TSG Hoffenheim to Chukwuani could, however, meet hard competition. In addition to Hoffenheim, French clubs and Wolverhampton Wanderers from the Premier League also show interest in the talented midfielder. This can turn out to be a challenge for the Hoffenheimers, who have to act as quickly as possible to hire Chukwuani. Fabrizio Romano, a well -known transfer expert, confirms the serious ambitions of Hoffenheim to win Chukwuani.

Sturm Graz, in which Chukwuani is currently under contract, could become champions next Saturday, which could further increase the pressure on Hoffenheim's obligations. Chukwuani has already experienced some ups and downs in his career, especially when a planned move to the Italian club Hellas Verona in 2022 failed due to a heart defect. After this setback, however, he found his way to Sturm Graz, where he impressively shows his skills.
