Nigerian youngster Francis Onyeka has completed a loan move to newly-promoted German Bundesliga side SC Elversberg from reigning Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen.
The highly-rated forward will spend the 2026/27 season at the Kaiserlinde as he looks to gain valuable first-team experience in Germany’s top flight.
Confirming the deal, SC Elversberg expressed their delight at securing the services of the Nigerian attacker.
“Francis Onyeka joins us at the Kaiserlinde on loan from Bayer 04 Leverkusen for one season! We’re so glad you’re here and we’re looking forward to a great season with you,” the club announced.
Onyeka, regarded as one of Nigeria’s promising young talents, will hope to make a significant impact at Elversberg as the club prepares for its maiden Bundesliga campaign following promotion to the German top division.
The loan move is expected to provide the young forward with regular playing opportunities and aid his development under the watchful eyes of both SC Elversberg and Bayer Leverkusen.
