Rotherham United ace linked with transfer move to new club at the end of the season

Rotherham United winger Chiedozie Ogbene is being linked with a summer switch to Standard Liege. The Republic of Ireland international is out of contract at the end of the season and is currently due to become a free agent.

The 25-year-old is yet to put pen-to-paper on a new deal with the Millers. His current focus is helping the Yorkshire club survive as they prepare to face Hull City away at the MKM Stadium this weekend.

According to verified Belgian reporter Sacha Tavolieri on Twitter, Ogbene has ‘caught the eye’ of Standard Liege in this campaign. The Belgian giants are currently sat in 7th place in the Pro League and have their sights set on achieving European qualification.

Rotherham landed the attacker back in 2019 from Brentford and he has since been a key player. He has made 128 appearances in all competitions and has scored 13 goals.

Ogbene, who had spells at Cork City and Limerick as a youngster before moving over to England, has helped the Millers gain promotion from League One twice since joining. Matt Taylor’s side risk losing him in a few months’ time for nothing and face a battle to keep hold of their starlet with Standard Liege now said to be in the frame for his signature.
