Everton forward Henry Onyekuru has to wait for his Everton bow, but he is excited to be spending time at the club.
Everton loan forward Henry Onyekuru has hailed the club after spending time back on Merseyside for treatment on an injury.
The Toffees signed Onyekuru from Eupen in the summer, beating heavy competition to do so, before loaning the Nigerian to Anderlecht.
Onyekuru picked up an injury at the end of 2017 and has been back at Everton to use their medical facilities, and is very impressed.
He told the club website: “It is amazing here. The people are good people, always friendly and showing care. I feel love and with that love I will recover even more quickly.”
Onyekuru is confident of making a recovery in time for the World Cup, which would certainly aid his prospects of a work permit for next season.
The 20-year-old has benefited from playing in the Champions League this season for Anderlecht, playing his part in a victory away to Celtic.
He discussed his decision to sign for Everton, and believes the mentality and ethos of the club mesh well with his attitude.
Onyekuru said: “My first aim was to sign for a Premier League club. That has been my dream since I was a little boy.
“I had a couple of offers but I said to myself, ‘it has to be the Premier League’. It is not just the game, it is the passion people in this country have for football.
“Everton is a club that wants to win and always fights. With the facilities, staff and coaches here, I think they can really help me develop even further.”
This season Onyekuru scored nine goals in 19 Jupiler Pro League games before his injury.
