Arsenal have indicated interested in Nigerian forward Henry Onyekuru who plays for Belgian side KAS Eupen. Onyekuru is currently one of the most sought-after youngsters in Europe following his devastating form for Eupen this season. The 19-year-old has scored 25 goals this season with 14 assists so far this season which has put him in the spotlight.
Arsenal are the latest club to express interest in the forward and his agents are reportedly ready to speak to the Gunners first before other clubs.
Arsenal are concerned that the player would not be eligible for a work permit as he is yet to play for Nigeria. He has however been invited for the Super Eagles upcoming friendly games against Corsica and Togo. The forward who is valued around £6.8million plus wages of around £32,000 is also been chased by Swansea and West Ham.
Borussia Monchengladbach, Southampton, West BromwichAlbion, Everton and Bournemouth have all reportedly made enquiries. The striker has publicly stated his preference for the Premier League and has turned down moves to Belgian giants Club Brugge and Anderlecht. In the January transfer window, Celtic were closed to signing the Nigerian player but Eupen refused to sell.
