Everton are close to signing highly rated Nigeria striker, Henry Onyekuru in a £7m deal from KAS Eupen. The 20-year-old footballer  scored 22 goals for the Belgian top-flight club last season and has been linked with Arsenal, West Ham United and clubs throughout Europe.


However, the player is understood to have had a medical with Everton on Monday.

Onyekuru is expected to be loaned to Anderlecht for the next 12 months to continue his development in Belgium.

He is regarded by Everton director of football Steve Walsh and manager Ronald Koeman as one for the future.
Onyekuru made his senior debut for Nigeria in the 3-0 friendly win over Togo earlier this month.

Everton are also hoping to make a formal announcement soon on their deal for Malaga's Spain Under-21 striker Sandro Ramirez, who has also had a medical and agreed personal terms.
