Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain reportedly want to sign Henry Onyekuru, who is yet to make a Premier League appearance for Everton.

Everton could be in line to receive a major profit for a player who has never made an appearance in the famous blue shirt.

Two years ago, the Toffees won the race to sign the coveted KAS Eupen striker Henry Onyekuru for a fee of £7 million according to the BBC. And they could soon be offered a staggering £20 million with the summer transfer window on the horizon.

Thanks to work permit issues, the 21-year-old has never made an appearance for his Premier League employers. Instead, he has been forced to spent the last two seasons on loan with Anderlecht and Galatasaray.

But Onyekuru has struggled to convince away from Goodison Park. When he is good, he is almost unplayable but a forward who idolises Thierry Henry is a long way from following in the Arsenal legend’s footsteps.

He has scored just nine goals in 32 games for Galatasaray this season with Onyekuru doing little so far to suggest that he would be a better option for Everton than Richarlison, Ademola Lookman, Theo Walcott and Bernard.

According to TEAMtalk, PSG are willing to pay £20 million to take Onyekuru to Paris. And Everton should really consider cutting their losses if the opportunity arises.
