# Everton forward leaves the club on loan

Everton attacker Henry Onyekuru has officially moved to Galatasaray on loan.

The Nigerian forward spent last season on loan at RSC Anderlecht following his move to Everton from Eupen and he endured a difficult time, coming in for criticism from his manager at the club.

It’s believed that Everton are now keen for Onyekuru to continue gaining valuable first-team experience elsewhere and they have made the decision to offload the youngster to Galatasaray on a temporary basis.

The 21-year-old will be hoping to flourish in the Turkish top-flight as he looks to make his way back into the Nigerian national squad, also, after being omitted by Gernot Rohr from the 23-man selection for the World Cup.

Everton beat a host of clubs to the signing of Onyekuru in 2017 and will be keen to monitor his progress with Galatasaray.
