Arsenal legend Ian Wright has backed Henry Onyekuru to shine
at the Emirates after reports that the Gunners had agreed a £6.8m fee for the
KAS Eupen striker, International Business Times UK reports.
The 19-year-old forward has caught the eye of clubs across
Europe after emerging as the top-scorer in the Belgian league this season with
22 goals in 38 appearances.
Wright commented on Twitter that the youngster reminded him of the time when he first joined Arsenal
as a relatively unknown player but established himself as one of the greatest
players to ever grace the club.
Onyekuru, if the reports are true, will be announced by the
north London club after the transfer window opens on July 1.
“Remember watching the news when I signed for Arsenal, fans
said “why we signing him” Good luck to you Henry. I found the way to shut them
up,” Wright said.
Despite his age and relatively unproven track record,
Onyekuru has already drawn comparisons to fellow talented starlet Kylian Mbappe
thanks to his lightning pace and impressive finishing.
And with nine assists to go along with his eye-catching goal
haul, it’s clear that Arsenal have bagged themselves a potential star in the
making – leaving fans euphoric, according to Daily Star.
“Scores goals from deep on the left, fast, runs at people
and can be selfish,” one supporter wrote.
“He’s our Sanchez replacement isn’t he?”
