Everton are ready to hand Henry Onyekuru his Premier League debut next season, but the Nigerian will need to be convinced to make the move.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But now Onyekuru would likely land a permit, as he is a regular for Nigeria and is one of the top-scorers in Turkey.<\/p>\n

Galatasaray would like to keep the player \u2013 but there is a major interest from elsewhere, including Paris Saint Germain.<\/p>\n

The French giants have been long-term admirers and they are ready to offer Everton a \u00a320million deal, but they are not the only interested party as we understand fellow French sides Monaco and Marseille are also keen, along with Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and Sevilla.<\/p>\n

Everton will be left with the decision to make, as their scouts have been issuing glowing reports on his progress back to Marco Silva and his staff.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
