Striker Henry Onyekuru has opened up on the challenges he faced while he was with French giants, AS Monaco.
The striker, who was part of the Nigerian contingent to the 2019 Africa Cup on Nations in Egypt, said his transfer to Monaco from Everton, whom he joined from Eupen, was determined by the Toffees’ chiefs.
The former Anderlecht man said due to the nature of his contract, he did not have a say on his destination.
Onyekuru told SporxEksta, “I didn’t get a work permit in Everton and my head wasn’t there either. I had no plans to go to Monaco; this was not a planned move.
“I was about to return to Galatasaray after the African Cup, but the Everton Sporting Director called me and said he had found a new club for me. (Text and photo courtesy Punch)
