Arsene Wenger who has being handed a new two-year contract by Arsenal, is set to land the young Nigerian forward Henry Onyekuru from Belgian top division club KAS Eugenics.
The 19-year old was the Jupiler League’s joint top scorer in the 2016/2017 season and also bagged the young player award. IT is believed that the Gunners have agreed to meet his £6.8 million release clause. But Sources said that personal terms were yet to be agreed on.
The news of his arrival at the Emirates Stadium has raised mixed feelings amongst Arsenal fans who hoped that Wenger would sign an already made player. But Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes the young Nigerian would eventually “shut…up” his critics.
