Arsenal handed huge boost in chase for Onyekuru

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has a lot of business to get through before the beginning of the new season as he looks to vastly improve on perhaps the worst season of his two-decade long tenure at the club.

Despite winning a record-breaking 13th FA Cup, and a seventh in his own career, Wenger’s side finished outside of the top four for the first time since he took the reins in north London.

With that in mind, a number of signings are being mooted to arrive at The Emirates over the coming weeks, including Eupen striker Henry Onyekuru.

The Nigerian international, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal, is also a target for London rivals West Ham, however, the Gunners have been handed a big boost in their battle.

According to Belgian outlet HLN, the Hammers have had their £7m offer for the 20-year-old rejected, with his current side looking to sell to a “more prestigious club,” leaving the door wide open for Wenger to swoop in.
