Everton have launched a £7 million bid for 19-year old Nigerian Henry Onyekuru, according to The Sun.

The shifty winger has been lighting up the Belgian First Division for KAS Eupen – finding the back of the net once every second game.

Toffees boss Ronald Koeman has reportedly envisaged Onyekuru to be a replacement for often-injured Yannick Bolasie.

The Sun reports that Everton representatives have already travelled to Belgium to iron out a deal that could be done at a fairly reasonable price.

However, due to Onyekuru's Nigerian nationality he has to apply for a work permit. This means that rivals Celtic have an advantage over Everton, given Scotland's slacker laws on work permits.
