Arsenal holds talk to sign Onyekuru

By Daily Sports on May 23, 2017

Arsenal have become the latest club to be linked with impressive Nigerian winger Henry Onyekuru.
The Gunners are believed to have held talks with the representatives of the player.

The teenager's performance in recent months in the Belgian Pro League for KAS Eupen has had some of European outfits tracking him and now the Gunners have been named as one of such clubs showing interest in the winger.

According to reports in England, the North London club have showed interest in Onyekuru and his representatives are also open to discussions with the former English champions.

Despite genuine interests from other English clubs like Swansea City and West Ham United in recent days, the Eupen winger's representatives are believed to be open to sounding out the move from the Gunners before listening to other suitors.

However the snag in the whole matter could be the lack of international football for the 19-year-old which could make getting him a work permit from the British Home Office difficult.

But Arsenal could still face a battle for the Nigerian as West Ham are very keen on landing Onyekuru and could put in a bid this week for him with Eupen.

Onyekuru, who has a release clause of more than £6 million in his contract, is attracting interests from a host of clubs that include Anderlecht, Borussia Monchengladbach, Celtic, Club Brugge, Everton, Southampton and West Brom.

Onyekuru is expected to join up with his country's national team, the Super Eagles, later this month and could feature in his first international game.

Onyekuru, a big admirer of Arsenal, has scored 25 goals and provided 14 assists for Eupen this season.
