Super Eagles forward Henry Onyekuru is set to undergo a medical on Monday after reaching an agreement with newly promoted Turkish Super Lig side Gençlerbirliği, Bold Sports reports.
Gençlerbirliği, who are returning to the top flight for the first time since their relegation in the 2020/21 season, are counting on the Nigeria international’s experience, both in Turkey and across his career, to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign.
According to Fanatik, Onyekuru, who last featured for Saudi Pro League side Al Fayha, has agreed personal terms with the Ankara-based club and is expected in Turkey on Monday to complete his medical and finalize the deal.
The winger is no stranger to the Turkish Super Lig, having enjoyed three loan spells at Galatasaray, where he scored 22 goals and provided 12 assists in 71 appearances. He also played for Adana Demirspor, initially on loan from Olympiacos, before making the move permanent.
After two seasons with Al Fayha, Onyekuru’s 2024/25 campaign was hampered by injuries, limiting him to just four league appearances without a goal.
Gençlerbirliği are hoping to finalize the move quickly so Onyekuru can link up with the squad for preseason. He could reunite with Super Eagles teammate Oghenekaro Etebo at the club.
Besiktas and Antalyaspor were the other Turkish clubs who had earlier shown interest in bringing the Nigerian back to Turkey.
