Everton forward Henry Onyekuru is set to return to the club this summer.
Everton talent Henry Onyekuru has told Hurriyet that he wants to stay at Galatasaray rather than return to Goodison Park this summer.
The Toffees swooped to sign Onyekuru from KAS Eupen in Belgium back in the summer of 2017, with Steve Walsh swooping after his 24-goal campaign.
Onyekuru was sent out on loan to Anderlecht last season for work permit reasons, scoring 10 goals in 28 games before injury cut his season short, and he was loaned out again last summer, this time joining Galatasaray.
The Nigerian racked up 16 goals and six assists this season as Galatasaray won the league title in Turkey, and he’s now set to return to Everton this summer.
The 21-year-old should be given a chance by Marco Silva if he’s now able to play in England, but it seems that the speedy attacker himself has other plans.
Onyekuru has now told Hurriyet in Turkey that his decision would be to stay with Galatasaray, and hope that Everton consider his stance when settling his future.
“My decision and my wish is to stay in Galatasaray. If Everton consider my decision, I prefer to stay,” said Onyekuru.
Everton will surely be reluctant to sell Onyekuru, but they could be lured in with another loan deal for their promising attacker, who is still yet to make his Toffees debut.
