Everton-owned Henry Onyekuru was in action for Galatasaray this weekend, as the 21-year-old forward featured against Kayserispor away from home in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday.

The Nigeria international forward, who joined Turkish giants Galatasaray on loan from Everton in the summer transfer window, scored twice in his side’s 3-0 win.

The youngster found the net first in the 18th minute and then again on 74 minutes.

According to WhoScored, Onyekuru took two shots which ended in goals, had a pass accuracy of 54.6%, won two headers, took 29 touches, and made one tackle.

Onyekuru joined Everton from KAS Eupen in the summer of 2017 for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £7 million.

The Nigeria international forward spent the 2017-18 on loan at Belgian club Anderlecht, but was able to make just four starts in the league due to injury issues, according to WhoScored.

Onyekuru has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to his side’s win at the weekend, with some Everton and Galatasaray fans responding to his message.
