La Liga side want Everton starlet on permanent switch

Valencia are interested in signing Everton forward Henry Onyekuru on a permanent deal this summer, according to reports.

The 21-year old winger is currently with Turkish Süper Lig side Galatasaray on a season-long loan, having made the move to Istanbul last month.

The Nigeria international spent last season on loan with Anderlecht, and has been loaned out again this season in a bid to increase the chances of landing a work permit for the Premier League next term.

However, according to Turkish outlet Sporx, La Liga outfit Valencia want to snap up Onyekuru on a permanent five-year deal, and they want to do it this summer.

For that to happen, Everton would need to terminate Onyekuru’s contract with Gala, which would also require the club to pay the current Turkish champions a termination fee – something that Sporx claim Valencia have requested the Blues do.

Onyekuru seems settled at Galatasaray for now, and has featured heavily during The Lions’ pre-season campaign, so an early termination seems unlikely.

Furthermore, Turkish Football reached out to the club, who claim that they have every intention of keeping Onyekuru for the remainder of their agreed upon loan deal, despite supposed interest from Los Che.
