According to Sky Sports, Eupen winger Henry Onyekuru is in talks with two Premier League clubs – just days after he hinted at a move to Everton.
Onyekuru, 19, joined Belgian side Eupen from the Aspire Academy in 2015, and he helped the club win promotion to the Jupiler Pro League last season.
The Nigerian attacker, who can play up front or out wide, has been one of the stars of the Belgian season this term, having racked up a stunning 21 goals in all competitions, as well as a total of nine assists.
Unsurprisingly, recording such impressive numbers whilst playing for a small Belgian club has sparked speculation over Onyekuru’s future, and he appears set for a move to the Premier League this summer.

Sky Sports report that Onyekuru is now in talks with two Premier League clubs over a summer deal, with Everton, Southampton and West Ham United the three clubs mentioned as being the most interested.
It’s stated that Onyekuru has turned down moves to Anderlecht and Club Brugge in the hope of earning a move to England, which looks very likely at this stage in proceedings.

Onyekuru was even quoted by Voetbalkrant last week that a move to Everton was ‘possible’, and the smart money would be on the Toffees being one of the two clubs to be in talks with the speedy forward.
Southampton and West Ham may both be in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer and could move for Onyekuru, but his exploits will have attracted the interest of many clubs ahead of the transfer window.
