Opinion: Silva would be making a huge mistake if £9m-rated talent leaves Everton

Galatasaray are keen to add an ‘option to buy’ clause in their loan arrangement with Everton for Henry Onyekuru, according to Fanatik.

What’s the word?

The 21-year-old signed for the Toffees in 2017 from Eupen, but he is yet to make an appearance for the club due to failure to obtain a work permit.

As a result, the attacker has been on loan at Anderlecht and now Galatasaray, where he is expected to stay until the end of the season.

Turkish media outlet Fanatik reports that Onyekuru has impressed on his loan so much so far that the club want to arrange a purchase option once the temporary deal expires.

It is believed that Everton are after a fee in the region of £22.5m, but manager Marco Silva should rethink selling the young talent.

Why keep him?

Onyekuru attracted Everton’s attention by scoring 30 goals in 60 games for Eupen, and he has carried his form into his loan spells.

At Anderlecht, the Nigerian did not rack up as many goals as he netted 10 in 28 outings, but he has shown that he has the skill to thrive.

To offload a player that has not even stepped foot on the Goodison Park turf yet would make very little sense.

Onyekuru – valued at £9m by Transfermarkt – has an eye for goal and could certainly be useful at Everton in future campaigns, but he will need time to establish himself at the club.

If Galatasaray approach the Premier League outfit with their proposal, the Toffees should shoot them down.
