Everton winger Henry Onyekuru not keen to extend his loan spell with Belgian club Anderlecht

SUPER Eagles winger Henry Onyekuru is yet to decide on whether he will renew his loan spell with Belgian giants Anderlecht despite the fact that his parent club Everton are keen to allow him extend his stay there for another season.

Onyekuru, 20, is one of the hottest Nigerian footballers in the world at the moment, who is on a season long loan to Anderlecht from English Premier League side Everton. However, the player, who is currently recovering from injury, is in disagreement with his parent club over the next step in his career.

In 2017, Onyekuru joined Everton from modest Belgium side Eupen on the strength of his 24 goals haul in his first season in the league. British work permit issues that prevent non European Union footballers from working in the country made Everton to loan him to Anderlecht.

After a slow start to life at the Belgian club, Onyekuru started realising his real potential with goals and assists before his rise was cut short by the injury which has kept him out for over three months. Now back to full fitness but yet to play in a competitive game, Everton and Anderlecht have reportedly agreed to extend his loan for another year but the player is not keen on agreeing to the decision.

It is believed that the player wants to leave his options open until after the World Cup, while there are insinuations that he also want to wait till the end of the season to see if Anderlecht will qualify for Europe before agreeing to the extension. Onyekuru is expected to be named in Nigeria's provisional; 35-man squad and looks a certainty to make the 23-man team going to Russia in the summer.
