And while playing for Galatasaray last season, Henry Onyekuru featured in 14 games scoring five goals.

Eleven years ago, Henry Onyekuru started his football career at Aspire Academy and graduated five years later before moving to EUPEN where he had 57 appearances netting 28 goals.

His brilliant performances caught the attention of Premier League side Everton who signed him in 2017, but he was unable to play for the side and was loaned to Anderlecht.

In the national team which is the Super Eagles, Henry Onyekuru was first invited in 2017 and played his first game for the three-time African champions in their 3-0 friendly win over Togo.

Since then, Henry Onyekuru has featured in 12 games for the Super Eagles netting two goals so far.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Simy Tochukwu Nwankwo could be on his way to Spanish La Liga giants Real Mallorca this summer as the club have reportedly offered 3.5 million euros which is around N1.711b for the Nigerian striker.

There is no doubt about the fact that Simy Nwankwo is one of the best strikers in the world considering his performances for Crotone last season netting 20 goals.

But despite scoring amazing goals last term for Crotone, Simy Nwankwo was unable to save his club from relegation and Real Mallorca chiefs want to lure him to La Liga.

Playing in the La Liga is a chance that the Nigerian striker is not expected to turn down considering the level of competition in Spain and facing the likes of Lionel Messi, Aguero and others.
