Henry Onyekuru’s agent is currently in negotiations with Everton on behalf of the Nigerian winger, who has also been linked with a move to Arsenal.

The 19-year-old Nigerian forward caught the fancy of observers with his performances for Belgian minnows Eupen and is set to make a big money move away from the club.




Anderlecht have been interested in the player, but he looked set to be on his way to Arsenal this summer. However, at present it seems the Gunners have so far failed to reach an agreement with his agent.

And it now Everton are leading the chase for the player as according to Belgian daily Het Nieuwsblad, his agent is in England at the moment and is in talks with the Toffees.
 


A deal could be on the cards and it has also been claimed that he could be immediately loaned out to Anderlecht to allow him to further develop in the Belgian league.
