Everton nab West Ham 23 goal striker target
The former West Ham striker target scored 23 goals for the Belgian top-flight club last season and has been linked with Arsenal and other clubs throughout Europe.
However, reports claim today that the player undertook a medical with Everton on Monday and has agreed personal terms.
Onyekuru is expected to be loaned to Anderlecht for the next 12 months to continue his development in Belgium. Onyekuru made his senior debut for Nigeria in the 3-0 friendly win over Togo in June.
Earlier this month a Hammers insider admitted:“He’s just one of many players we are possibly looking at.”
adding: “We are not sure the player can make the jump to the Premier League.”
We understand that Onyekuru was never at the top of West Ham’s striker target list and they won’t lose any sleep in losing out to Everton as they had doubts.
