West Ham United are still in with a shout of signing Eupen forward Henry Onyekuru, the Daily Mail reports.
It had been claimed the Belgians had turned down proposals in favour of selling the 20-year-old to a ‘more prestigious club’.
However, Onyekuru is said to be eager to play in the Premier League and has been impressed by West Ham’s commitment to signing him.

Sky Sports stated last week the Hammers were the new front-runners for Onyekuru’s signature, ahead of six divisional rivals including Arsenal and Swansea City.
And subsequent reports have backed up the broadcaster’s claim that the 22-goal star is flying to England this week to commence negotiations with other clubs.

According to the Daily Mail, ‘totting up’ enough points to gain a work permit will be key to the Nigeria international’s Premier League move.
The report adds that West Ham midfielder Havard Nordtveit is interesting Bundesliga outfit Wolfsburg.
