Everton 'agree deal to sign KAS Eupen striker Henry Onyekuru'

Everton have reportedly struck a deal with KAS Eupen to sign striker Henry Onyekuru.

The 20-year-old was linked with Arsenal and West Ham United, but it appears that he has chosen to play his football on Merseyside.

According to Sky Sports News, Everton have agreed a deal to sign the Nigerian, who had an £8.6m release clause in his contract.

Onyekuru will arrive at Goodison Park with plenty of promise having ended the season as joint top scorer in Belgium with a 22-goal haul.

It is believed that the forward will not feature for Everton next season, but will instead be loaned out to Anderlecht while he waits to qualify for a work permit.
