Onyekuru, Super Eagles forward, returns to Galatasaray on loan

Henry Onyekuru, Super Eagles forward, has returned to Galatasary on a six-month loan deal from AS Monaco, French Ligue 1 side.

The 22-year-old talented player rejoined the Turkish side on Sunday, until the end of the season without an option to buy.

Onyekuru’s loan deal comes on the back of his failure to get a regular playing time with Monaco — the club that signed him in the summer.

The gifted Nigerian football star also took to his Twitter page to express excitement over his return “home” to the Turkish side.

“I am so happy to announce ?Gala I’m Home! Ready to give all I have to help finish the season strong….#Cimbombom,” he wrote.

He has only donned the French Ligue 1 jersey on four occasions since he linked up with Monaco from Everton for £12.5m last summer.

The Turkish club side also announced Onyekuru’s loan deal on their official website.

“Professional football player Henry Chuckwuemeka Onyekuru and Club AS Monaco Football Club has agreed to transfer the player temporarily until the end of 2019-2020 season,” said the club.

“A net transfer fee of 650,000 Euro will be paid to the player.”

The 20-year-old football star scored 14 goals in 31 league appearances for Fathi Terim’s men during his first term with the club.
