Turkish Outfit Plots Swift Move For Henry Onyekuru

Super Eagles striker Henry Onyekuru has been a free agent since the end of last season, but he could just be signing for a Turkish Super Lig club in the coming days, according to Soccernet.ng.

Onyekuru left Saudi Arabian club Al Fayha at the end of last season after his contract expired, but he is yet to get new employers.

However, he has been linked with multiple clubs this summer, especially from the Turkish Super Lig.

There have been talks about interest from Besiktas, Trabzonspor, and even champions Galatasaray. But nothing cconcrete has come up yet.

Nonetheless, it appears that Onyekuru could get a new club soon. This is as Buchi Laba reports that Antalyaspor have initiated talks with the Super Eagles star over a potential transfer.

The Scorpions, who finished 15th in the Super Lig last season, are desperate to get the deal over the line quickly so Onyekuru can join then for pre-season.

According to Buchi Laba, once the Super Eagle star agrees to the deal, they will send a private jet to come and pick him up from Nigeria, where he is currently on holiays with his family.

Antalyaspor will be looking to do better than they did last season when they finished 15th in the Super Lig.

Henry Onyekuru would be a fine signing for Antalyaspor, as he has bags of experience playing in the Turkish Super Lig.

He had previous stints at Adana Demirspor and Galatasaray, where he won the Super Lig title. As such, he will not have issues adjusting to life there.

Onyekuru has been doing a lot of personal training in Nigeria. He will hope to get back to action as soon as possible and make an impact.
