Arsenal agree £6.8m transfer fee for Henry Onyekuru

[Enugu II]

I don't know where you guys reside but sky sport news is almost as reliable as BBC. It's not just a tabloid like sun, daily mirror, guidian etc. guy sport said that arsenal has agreed to meet his "clause" they never that he has signed. However, arsenal fans started complaining upon hearing that news the reaction was horrible. Maybe, we get changed his mind.

John12,

Sky sports is owned by who? Is it not Rupert Murdoch? He is the guy who made tabloid what it is today and directly responsible for changing what news is today. Now, I am not familiar with Skysports daily reporting but Murdoch has a formula and he has used it in England with his newspapers, in Australia, and in the United States. Except Skysports is different. If it is, then it will wait until a deal is done and by then it will be playing second place to other outlets and Murdoch does not play second place.

In any case, you point to a key issue -- that news can change. That is really important and deals can fall apart art the last minute. However, I would not claim that an Arsenal deal for Onyekuru has fallen apart. After all, there is no news to state that he has signed for another club. It remains fluid as far as I know.

Everton fight off competition from Arsenal to sign highly-rated Nigerian winger Henry Onyekuru

Everton have pulled off a significant transfer coup by landing the signature of Henry Onyekuru from Belgian outfit KAS Eupen.

The Nigeria striker finished last season as the joint leading scorer in the Belgian Super League with 22 goals in 38 games – 10 of those came in the final 10 games – and he has attracted the attention of a number of top clubs across Europe.

His form was so good that he won his first international caps at the end of the campaign for Nigeria.
Arsenal had been regarded as leading the chase for the 20-year-old but Everton have trumped them all by negotiating a deal with Eupen that will see Onyekuru spend a season on loan with Anderlecht before coming to the Premier League.

Everton feel another season spent with Anderlecht, who will be playing in the Champions League, will be significant for Onyekuru's development and he will arrive at Goodison Park in 12 months' time a much more polished forward.

Onyekuru is understood to have undergone a medical at Everton's Finch Farm training base on Monday and agreed personal terms to maintain Everton's impressive start to their summer transfer business.

Onyekuru will join Anderlect on loan for a year before joining Everton in 12 months' time +5

Having smashed their club transfer record to sign £30million goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and followed up with the addition of £25million Davy Klaassen from Ajax, Everton are not finished by any means.

Sandro Ramirez, the Spain Under-21 striker, has agreed personal terms and passed a medical and is waiting impatiently for his move to be completed from Malaga after Everton triggered his £5.2million release clause. Though Real Madrid have been linked with Sandro, no problems are envisaged.

Everton will then set about securing the signatures of Gylfi Sigurdsson, who is Ronald Koeman's prime target, and Burnley defender Michael Keane. It is likely they will move for another striker, too, before the window closes in August.

I would like to know what John12 now thinks about Sky?

[bully12]

So all these news he signed here and he signed there are all speculations. I guess someone will speculate right then becomes boisterous for being the correct source. I hate to be in the poor boy's shoes. If he doesn't perform very in the coming matches he shouldn't be blamed. A lot of distractions.

[Coach]

West Ham odds on.

assnal is a failed club..mouth , mouth, mouth... then a few years down the line , dem go yarn could have would have etc... what a hopeless entity

[bully12]

I thought Nice is also interested in his services. Honestly I rather have him go to Nice than West Ham or Swan City

[smartbrother]

:-0 i thought arsenal had already signed him?

He had a discussion with Knapper and Bob at Arsenal and the problem is that wenger is not willing to offer him a starting point. I understand that Bob, academy lead scout - actually said that he will start off with the u-23's and then progress from there so that he can get the visa and experience needed for the premier league....

Henry and his agent were not best pleased with that comment and from my understanding, neither was Arsene although, he wont guarantee 1st team position, he will have to fight for his place and he will be limited if we play the whole wing back position that we ended the season with.

He is due to fly into London on Monday/Tuesday for talks.

if anyone is in camp, as I do not have connection that I used to....it will be best for him to sign for Arsenal for the following reason.

Yes, he will not play every game but he will play a lot next season and if he succeeds, he will be kept on. Westham and everton are a pressure cooker and he will be expected to perform straightaway and if he buckles, he will be in the Lookman, Oxford situation.

He should look at Holding and (closer to home) Iwobi

[Enyi]

btw.....the club is demanding that any club play the full 7.9m but since westham is willing to pay that, if talks go well next week we will pay that.

Typical Arsenal~ full of bassssstarrddds!!! The highest goal scorer in a league last season should go and play for U-23??!!! Unbelievable! Because he is not white or European.

He is due to fly into London on Monday/Tuesday for talks.

What the ffffooooookk does this even mean????? be kept oN!!??? WOW! Look art your low self-esteem! Welbeck went to Arsenal and has don nothing, no one said he should or should not be "kept on." You purchase a played and give him a foooooking contract! There is no kept on or not!

Ibrahimovic refused to be insulted by Wenger and look at the career he has had! He has played for clubs better than Arsenal -- Barca, Juve, Inter, Man United, PSG, Milan! He has won more than Arsenal could dream about! Thats what happens when you respect yourself and have confidence in your ability! Never allow any one insult you or reduce your value! Onyekuru is the highest goal scorer in Belgium. Arsenal either wants him or not! And if they cant meet his terms, like ibra, fooook them!

And this one is saying he should look at Holding and Iwobi! I dont blame you! Did Holding or Iwobi become highest goal scorer in a respected league before they moved to Arsenal? Please, dont let me slap your fat face this morning

Henry! Look at Ibra, and not losers like Holding! NONSENSE

[Bigpokey24]

assnal is a failed entity.. so they want to sign this bobo as a u23 player . wow... you people actually think Nwakali will get to taste football? smh.... at his age he should be in some top league balling, but assnal sent the bobo to some loan in holland.. yall should open una eyes... that hopeless club never plays youths anymore.. they are a buying club.. their entire FA cup starting 11 were purchased ... sanchezm uzil xhaka, ox, the back 4 welkback etc... the only player who came up from that failed youth program they claim they have is now a bench warmer

i so much dislike that club ,

I hope Nwakali gets a chance. It'd be better for Onyekuru to go where he'll play, I'm not convinced Arsenal is that club.

However, it's not simply an Arsenal issue. Chelsea almost ruined Moses' career till Conte came around. Look at Omeruo...is he not still on Chelsea's books? What has he gained from that?

If we're talking about EPL, that's one thing. If we're talking about Nigerian boys, lets throw that silly club loyalty or disloyalty out of the window, these clubs ALL have shown themselves to be iffy with our players. My wish is these Eagles go where they can grow and play.

Actually anywhere he goes it's pretty much a crap shoot. He just has to perform. If he doesn't he'll be out regardless of which club he's at.

You see me Holding and Iwobi and I raise you Chambers, Jenks, Gnarby and Sanogo. The difference is the first two performed well. The same Holding was poached from Bolton while Chambers from mighty Southampton. There's no science to it...you just gotta deliver.

This one was obvious. he was a bench warmer at So'ton.

So you want to highest goal scorer in Belgium to literally take a step back in his career to go and play U23 football?

[anikulapo]

If this news is true I would sign him and let him compete for a spot in the preseason. Hell Bellerin, Holding and others earned their stripes from their exceptional performance in the preseason . If he is not guaranteed regular playing time he can always be loaned out to an EPL with a guarantee of X amout of minutes ... and again this all depends on the future of Alexis and the Germans parasite .

Personally I can't wait to see the lad in an Arsenal jersey .... he has that difference maker quality albeit not definitive since it's YouTube clips .... I'm looking forward to seeing a body of work through a full run of games

From what I gathered with you post you want the boy to sign with the team for your own selfishness not for the boy's sake . On behalf of the boy I will tell you no thank you.

Dont mind the id;iot, Anikuladunce! Unbelievable! A player should throw his career away to make some fat man who spends his time driving to the gym, happy.

[kajifu]

If Wenger want to s ign the boy,i hope the boy ask for likes of Ozil salary or tell Wenger and his share holders and owner to fook it off.
How can any club want a player and start talk about under23 team when we have clueless guys like Welbeck,Walcrap starting.
The boy should go to a team like Liverpool under Klopp or Everton

Apparently you didn't get the point so never mind ... let him go to West Ham now to make you happy

[Nkume]

It is clear that we were never interested.
