The Yellow Canaries are closing in on a Nigerian international as they attempt to bolster their squad ahead of the new season
Henry Onyekuru looks to be closing in on a move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce. The Nigerian is considered surplus to Monaco’s requirements, and he is searching for a new club following the expiration of his one-year loan deal at Galatasaray.
According to Turkish news outlet MILIGAZETE, Fenerbahce are close to confirming a deal for the Nigerian International. The Yellow Canaries have reportedly agreed to pay €4m to Monaco to secure the services of Onyekuru.
The fee is expected to be paid in two instalments. However, whilst terms seem to have been settled between Monaco and Fenerbahce, the former Super Lig Champions still have to agree on personal terms with the forward.
Onyekuru has a lot of experience playing in Turkey. He has played his best football in the Super Lig. The former Eupen striker has had three separate loan spells with Galatasaray, scoring 16 goals in all competitions in his first stint as the Lions won the league and cup double.
He scored five goals in 14 league appearances for Galatasaray last season, and he stated that he would love to stay at the club, but they haven’t made an official bid for him.
