Nigeria international wing forward Henry Onyekuru has agreed to join Greek giants Olympiakos on a permanent deal from Ligue 1 side Monaco, OwnGoalNigeria.comunderstands.
Monaco have told the Nigerian that he isn’t in their plans for next season and he was subsequently axed from the pre season squad as reported by this portal two weeks ago.
He had interest from teams in Turkey where his rating is very high owing to the successful time he had at Galatasary where he led them to the league title during a loan spell from Everton. He also played on loan at the same club last season but with little success.
Galatasary couldn’t reach an agreement with Monaco on signing him permanently and his agent confirmed that he is also in talks with Fenerbahce and Besiktas but Olympiakos is where he is heading on a permanent deal.
It hasn’t been the best of move for the talented winger since he joined Monaco in a permanent deal from Everton. He has failed to stamp his authority in the team despite working with several managers. He will be hoping to launch himself with this move especially as they will be playing in the UEFA Champions League.
