Everton To Pocket N675.8M From Loaning Henry To Anderlecht

Published: May 04, 2018

Everton will pocket 1.55 million euros (approximately N675.8 million) in total if Nigeria international Henry Onyekuru extends his stay at Belgian First Division A outfit Anderlecht next season, as per reports.

According to La Capitale, it has come to light that the Toffees loaned out the striker to Anderlecht for two seasons, and the Premier League side can only recall him at any time between May 1 and June 15, 2018, subject to the approval of the English Premier League and the FA.

Anderlecht are due to pay Everton 750,000 euros as loan fee for the first season and the amount will rise to 800,000 euros in the second season.

Though Henry returned to Everton to receive treatment after he suffered a serious knee injury in December 2017, all the medical expenses will be borne by the Belgian champions as stipulated in the contract.

Everton are hoping that Henry will become eligible for a work permit at the end of his loan spell in Belgium.

The 20-year-old may likely start on the bench in Anderlecht's playoff game against Club Brugge on Sunday after playing two games for the reserve team without any issues.
