According to reports from Fanatik, Turkish club Galatasaray want to sign Henry Onyekuru from Everton permanently at the end of his loan spell.

Onyekuru, who joined Everton in 2017 for a reported fee of £7 million, has joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan this summer.

The 21-year-old was loaned out to Belgian side Anderlecht after he was signed from Eupen to help him qualify for a work permit.

He scored nine goals in 19 appearances for Anderlecht but returned to Merseyside for treatment after suffering a serious knee injury in December.

The exciting young forward has already made a strong start in Turkey and hasn’t taken long to become a fans’ favourite at the club.

Gala are keen to sign him on a permanent deal. There is no purchase option in Onyekuru’s contract and Everton are demanding a fee of around £23 million (more than three times the amount Everton paid) for him.

Onyekuru does not have a work permit to allow him to play in England, and that is why he was sent out on loan. He is a fantastic young talent and Everton could make a big mistake if they sell the striker without giving him a fair chance to shine at the Merseyside club.
