Monaco finalising deal for Everton winger Henry Onyekuru

AS Monaco are finalising a deal for Everton winger Henry Onyekuru.

The Daily Mail says Onyekuru will complete a £12million move to Monaco on Monday having never played a first-team game at Goodison Park because of work permit issues.

Onyekuru, 22, is already in the south of France putting the finishing touches to a five-year contract with confirmation expected in the next 24 hours.

Everton signed the Nigerian for £8m in 2017 but he has spent the last two seasons on loan with Anderlecht and Galatasaray, who he helped win the Turkish League.

At Monaco, he will replace Belgian international Nacer Chadli who has gone on loan to Anderlecht.
