Everton win the race for Onyekuru

Birmingham City look set to miss out on Eupen forward Henry Onyekuru with the Nigerian set for a move to the Premier League with Everton.

Blues were keen on bringing the talented 20-year-old to St. Andrew’s in what would’ve been a record signing for the club.

But with plenty of interest from the Premier League, it was always going to be tough for Blues to strike a deal.

Arsenal, West Ham and Newcastle all showed an interest but the joint top scorer last season in Belgium has opted for a move to Mersyside.

Onyekuru will be loaned back to Belgium next season where he will play with current champions Anderlecht.
