KAS Eupen forward Henry Onyekuru has received a UK entry visa ahead of a potential move to the UK, according to scorenigeria.
The football news website claims that the 20-year-old wants a move to the Premier League, with Arsenal, Newcastle, West Ham and Swansea all circling for the attacker’s signature, and they will all be boosted by news of his newly acquired paperwork.
West Ham were reported by Belgian journalist Pieter-Jan Calcoen to have had a £7million bid for the youngster rejected by his current club, despite a previous report from the Daily Mail that a medical for the Hammers had been arranged.
There is said to be huge interest from across Europe in the one-cap Nigerian international, with French giants PSG and Belgian champions Anderlecht both named as prospective suitors.
The interest comes as a result of the youngster’s incredible form in Belgium’s Jupiler Pro League, which saw him net 24 goals and notch up nine assists in 38 appearances for Eupen.
Despite the host of top clubs interested, scorenigeria claim that the winger’s favoured move would be to the Premier League, with Arsenal said to have agreed both a transfer fee and personal terms.
However, the website claim that the 20-year-old’s priority is ensuring game time at the club he signs for, in order to be considered for Nigeria’s potential World Cup squad, which could see West Ham or Newcastle edge ahead as favourites considering Arsenal’s depth of talent.
