Henry Onyekuru

Galatasaray have signed Super Eagles forward Henry Onyekuru on a season-long loan from Everton.

The 21-year-old was signed by the Toffees last summer but sent on loan to Anderlecht, where he scored 10 goals in 27 appearances before injury, as he did not qualify for a work permit.

Everton will reportedly receive a £700,000 loan fee for the youngster, who has joined up with Galatasaray’s training camp in Switzerland.

“Galatasaray are glad to make the signing of Henry Onyekuru official! Nigerian 21-year-old winger is joining us from Everton on loan,” the Turkish club tweeted.

The club confirmed they had begun formal talks with Everton over a deal for Onyekuru earlier this week.

Onyekuru started his career at Aspire Academy in 2010 before joining Eupen five years layer.

He has been capped twice by the Super Eagles.
