Onyekuru eyeing Bundesliga switch?

The 20-year-old striker has an agreement with the Belgian giants having spent 2017-18 there, on loan from Everton.

His loan spell, however, was badly disrupted by a serious knee injury, which likely cost him a place in Nigeria's World Cup squad.

Onyekuru needs to play in 75% or more of his country's internationals to qualify for a UK work permit and there are those in Nigeria who feel as though Anderlecht deliberately withheld him from the team in recent weeks to ensure that he would be overlooked.

Whether the player himself feels that way or he just wants a change of scenery, Het Laatste Nieuws in Belgium are reporting that Onyekuru will travel to Germany to discuss a fresh loan move with Moenchengladbach, pending agreement from Everton.
