Everton could try and recall Onyekuru from loan

Ronald Koeman could be forced to recall Henry Onyekuru from his season-long loan at Anderlecht because of Everton's struggle for goals this season.

A source tells Nigerian site 90minutesgoal.com that the striker is unlikely to complete his anticipated year with the Belgian club because Everton will attempt to end his loan early.

The Blues signed Onyekuru from KAS Eupen for around £7m over the summer and immediately loaned him out so that he could get the experience and requisite international caps for Nigeria in the interim that would qualify him for a work permit in England.

Everton could invoke the "special talent" argument to see if that would satisfy the Department of Employment in January rather than waiting until next summer.

Onyekuru has scored five times in 11 games for Anderlecht since joining them in August.
