Everton have announced that they have completed the signing of forward Henry Onyekuru from Belgian side Eupen for an undisclosed fee.
The 20-year-old has signed a five-year deal and will spend next season on loan with Belgian title winners Anderlecht, who will be playing in the Champions League.
Onyekuru enjoyed a superb 2016/17 season in Belgium and finished joint-top scorer in the Pro League after finding the net 22 times.
And he made his international debut for Nigeria when they defeated Togo 3-0 on 1 June.
The exciting prospect was previously at the Aspire Academy in Qatar, where he spent five years before joining Eupen in 2015.
