Crystal Palace join race to sign Henry Onyekuru

Crystal Palace will need to invest in another striker in the summer with Loic Remy returning to Chelsea and Fraizer Campbell’s contract up at the end of the season.

Sam Allardyce has had his scouts watching KAS Eupen starlet Henry Onyekuru this season ahead of a summer move, but he faces competition for his signature.

Liverpool, Bournemouth, Southampton and Everton are also weighing up moves for the teenage forward, while Celtic failed with a January bid earlier this season, say the Daily Mail.

The 19-year-old has 20 goals and nine assists in 38 games for Eupen this season and is widely expected to complete a lucrative transfer in the summer.

Fellow Belgian sides Anderlecht and Club Brugge have both submitted £6.7m offers for the striker, which may force the Eagles’ hand.

Yet to make his international debut for Nigeria, Onyekuru would struggle to earn a work permit to complete a move to the Premier League, unless Palace pay £7m and sign him to a contract of £32,000-a-week to ensure a work permit under the totting-up procedure.
