Celta Vigo Join Galatasaray In Race To Sign Former Everton Striker Onyekuru
Published: November 22, 2019Celta Vigo are the latest club being linked with a move for former Everton player Henry Onyekuru in the January transfer window.
Turkish media outlet Ajansspor claims Celta Vigo are on the trail of the Nigeria international but have to see off competition from Galatasaray to sign the Monaco striker.
Onyekuru has failed to live up to expectations since his summer move to the Principality outfit, making just two starts in Ligue 1 with no goals to his name and could be shipped off on loan in the winter transfer market.
The likes of Gelson Martins, Ben Yedder, Baldé and Islam Slimani are ahead of the Nigerian in manager Leonardo Jardim's pecking order of strikers at Monaco.
Despite his limited playing opportunities, Onyekuru is not lacking suitors with CSKA Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow also credited with an interest in the 22-year-old.
Celta Vigo have scored the least number of goals in La Liga this season, seven in total from 13 games, and might consider signing a striker in January.
Onyekuru showed his goalscoring credentials at Eupen, RSC Anderlecht and Galatasaray, netting 56 goals in 132 competitive matches.
