Breaking : Former Everton Winger Jets Out To Istanbul To Seal Galatasaray Transfer

Published: January 03, 2020

Allnigeriasoccer.com has been told that Galatasaray are on the verge of announcing the signing of former Everton winger Henry Onyekuru.

The Nigeria international jetted out to Istanbul on Friday night to seal his transfer to the Turkish Super Lig champions.

The appointment of a new coach at Monaco, Robert Moreno, sparked speculation that Onyekuru's proposed move to Galatasaray might be delayed but he has given the green light to the deal.

Pending a medical, the Super Eagles star will join the The Yellow-Reds on loan for the remainder of the 2019-2020 season.

Galatasaray had always been Onyekuru's first choice when it became clear Everton were willing to cash in on the 22-year-old last summer but the Turkish side were prized out of a move for the former Eupen starlet.

He had a successful loan spell at the Istanbul giants last term, scoring 16 goals in 44 games and helped them win the league and Cup.

Apart from the aforementioned teams, Onyekuru has also worn the colours of Aspire Academy and RSC Anderlecht.
