One of the great young Nigerian talents, Onyekuru has struggled for playing opportunities since joining Monaco in August 2019.

Today will make it three months that the Super Eagles star has not featured for the Principality outfit. It is understood that Galatasaray have successfully negotiated a loan move with Monaco and Onyekuru is patiently waiting for the transfer window to open before flying to Turkey to formalise his switch to the Super Lig club.

The 22-year-old had been linked with possible moves to teams in Russia and Spain but Galatasaray are poised to confirm his capture in the coming days. He enjoyed a successful loan spell at The Yellow-Reds during the 2018-2019 campaign, scoring 16 goals in 44 games and helping them win the domestic double.

The Turkish winter transfer window opens on January 4 and closes for business at the end of next month.

Also likely to be on the move is young Nigerian-born youngster, Eberechi Eze, who is said to be on Tottenham’s radar.

Eze, 21, is still contracted to QPR until 2021 and have been solid for the Championship side, scoring nine goals in 22 league appearances this season.

According to Lilywhite Rose of Love Sport Radio, Spurs are in discussions with Queens Park Rangers regarding the permanent transfer of England U21 international, Ebere Eze.

The report added that the proposed transfer would see one or two Tottenham players join Queens Park Rangers as part of any deal.

Eze was born in England to Nigerian parents and has played twice for the Three Lions at under-21 level.

His current deal with QPR will run through to June 2021 and is valued around £20 million.
