Henry Onyekuru has never made a Premier League appearance for Everton and has scored five times in two games over in Turkey.
It looked like Everton had pulled off a huge coup when they saw off interest from across the continent to sign the prolific KAS Eupen forward Henry Onyekuru, snapping him up for a fee of £7 million (BBC).
But will Onyekuru leave The Toffees without ever playing a game?
Thanks to work permit issues, Everton have been forced to loan out the Nigerian international in each of the last two seasons. He spent the 2017/18 campaign at Anderlecht and is now at Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray.
And, according to Star, Onyekuru has decided that he wants to stay at Istanbul beyond the current season and is waiting for Galatasaray to come to an agreement with Everton.
It is understood that the 21-year-old will cost around £9 million, though it remains to be seen whether Fatih Terim’s side can afford to pay such a fee.
Onyekuru has scored nine goals this season with five of those coming in his last two games. He is clearly benefiting from being fielded in his favoured left wing position, a role he covets in part due to his admiration of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
