ARSENAL SET TO SIGN NIGERIAN YOUNGSTER, HENRY ONYEKURU.


Arsenal have reportedly agreed a deal for Nigerian teenager, Henry Onyekuru.

The winger has had a fine season with Belgian club KAS Eupen where he is the top scorer with 23 goals.

So many Clubs in Europe including West Ham, Liverpool, Club Brugge, and Anderlecht are monitoring his situation, but Arsenal appear to have won the race after reportedly triggering his release clause of £6.8m.

Celtic failed with a bid to sign him in January as the Belgian side wanted to hold on to their prized asset but now they could be willing to let him move on.

After the interest from the Scottish champions in January, Onyekuru admitted: "I have made my decision to leave. I have already agreed with Eupen that I am joining my new club after this season."

Everton were thought to be close to a deal to sign the Nigerian in January, but according to Soccer Nigeria, Onyekuru who is an ardent Arsenal fan, looks likely to join the Gunners in the Summer.
