Henry Onyekuru has now scored 14 Galatasaray goals on loan from Premier League outfit Everton.
Galatasaray haven’t won the Turkish Cup since 2016. But, thanks to Henry Onyekuru, the Istanbul giants have a chance to end their three-year wait.
The Everton loanee has been a huge hit since joining Galatasaray last summer with his speed and goalscoring instincts making him a firm fans’ favourite amongst some of Europe’s most passionate supporters.
But Onyekuru saved perhaps his finest performance of the campaign for the Turkish Cup semi-final on Thursday night. He was the Man of the Match in a 5-2 thrashing of Yeni Malatyaspor, scoring twice and setting up another to set up a final date with Akhisar in May.
That means the Nigerian has scored 14 goals in all competitions this season. No wonder fans were quick to sing his praises from the rooftops on Twitter after yet another star turn for a player who wears his first name on the back of his shirt in homage to Thierry Henry.
Onyekuru is yet to make an appearance for Everton thanks to work permit issues and there’s a chance he will never play for the Merseyside giants.
According to Fanatik, Bayern Munich are keen to sign him this summer with Marcel Brands telling the Bundesliga champions that Everton are looking for £35 million.
