Henry Onyekuru: Everton close to signing Nigeria striker

Everton are close to signing Nigeria striker Henry 
Onyekuru in a £7m deal from KAS Eupen.

Onyekuru, 20, 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.

They will pay £5.2m for 21-year-old Sandro, the 
transfer fee release clause inserted into his contract 
when he left Barcelona last summer, but official 
confirmation has been delayed by his involvement in the European Under-21 Championship, where Spain
face Italy in the semi-final on Tuesday.

Everton have already signed England Under-21 
goalkeeper Jordan Pickford from Sunderland for £30m 
and Ajax captain Davy Klaassen in a £24m deal.

Toffees boss Koeman and director of football Walsh 
are now expected to intensify their pursuit of Burnley's 
£25m-rated England defender Michael Keane and Swansea City's Iceland midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson.

They are also considering a £10m for Burnley striker 
Andre Gray.
