Transfer gossip: Chelsea linked with Nigerian youngster

Chelsea are among clubs showing an interest in Nigerian prospect Henry Onyekuru, the Daily Mail say.

Arsenal are also said to be monitoring the the 19-year-old winger, who plays for Eupen in Belgium and was linked with a move to Celtic in January.

Onyekuru reportedly went Awol for several days in the hope of pushing through a transfer to Glasgow.

He is reported to have since been given assurances that he can leave this summer, with a number of clubs said to be keen to snap him up.

Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund, Monchengladbach and Lille are all apparently showing some interest in Onyekuru, who has scored 12 goals in 26 games this season.

Eupen are looking for £6m in order to sell him, it is claimed.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have been mooted as a potential destination for Real Madrid midfielder Isco.

Goal.com have suggested that Barcelona are interested in signing him, but The Sun believe the animosity between the two sides could leave the door open for the Blues and Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Blues boss Antonio Conte holds an interest in Crystal Palace striker Christian Benteke, according to the Daily Telegraph.

However, the report adds the Belgian wants to play regular first-team football with the 2018 World Cup on the horizon. West Ham are therefore touted as a more likely option.
