Onyekuru: Anderlecht, Club Brugge make N3.3bn offer
Anderlecht and Club Brugge are in the lead to sign Nigerian
rising star, Henry Onyekuru , as they have both tabled a £6.7million (about
N3.3bn) offer for the KAS Eupen striker.
This fresh development was coming at a time when top EPL
side, Everton also expressed interest in
signing him.
The 19-year-old had
been courted by a host of Premier League sides and was keen to move to England
but Anderlecht and Brugge had made opening offers.
Onyekuru had still to make his full international debut for
Nigeria, so would need to move for £7m and on a contract of £32,000 a week to
ensure a work permit under the totting-up procedure.
Onyekuru is in contention to become Belgium’s player of the
year.The teenager can play wide or as a striker and had scored 17 goals so far
this season.
Everton, Southampton, Bournemouth and Liverpool had all
shown interest while Celtic failed with a bid to sign him in January.
