West Ham Overtake Arsenal In Race For Super Eagles Striker Henry?

West Ham have overtaken Arsenal in the race for the signature of Nigeria international Henry Onyekuru, according to Sky Sports.

Belgian club Eupen are willing to sell the striker if an interested club meet the £7.85m release clause inserted into his contract.

West Ham and Arsenal are battling for the signature of Onyekuru, but still face competition from five Premier League clubs, including Swansea City.

The 20-year-old is currently on international duty with the Super Eagles, but is expected to fly to England on June 12 to hold contract talks with his suitors.

Last season, the Aspire Academy product scored an impressive 24 goals in all competitions.
