Everton have agreed a deal to sign Henry Onyekuru from Belgian club KAS Eurpen, according to Sky sources.

The Nigerian striker was joint-top scorer in the Belgian top division last season, and his advisers also held talks with Arsenal and West Ham this summer.

Onyekeru, who has a £6.8m release clause in his contract, will spend next season on loan at Anderlecht as he does not yet qualify for a United Kingdom work permit.

The 20-year-old is the third high-profile close-season arrival at Goodison Park following the signings of Jordan Pickford and Davy Klaassen.
