On Thursday we covered claims from Belgium that Henry Onyekuru was close to signing for Borussia Monchengladbach and was even expected in Germany to go house-hunting in Dusseldorf.
The Bundesliga club were said to be willing to meet the loan conditions of Everton, to enable a transfer to go through early in the summer window. This was all after Everton had already agreed with Anderlecht for a further loan, with the player unsure about remaining at the Belgian club.
Now there’s interesting claims from Belgium again.
Het Nieuwsblad report Onyekuru missed training yesterday, with the official reason being ‘gastroenteritis’, but the Belgian newspaper suggest it’s actually ‘transfer fever’.
It’s stated the player’s agents are trying, one last time, to see if they can sort out a work permit for the player to move back to parent club Everton. If that doesn’t work there’s 
plenty of interest elsewhere.
Het Nieuwsblad say Gladbach aren’t yet entirely convinced, despite other claims, because they want to make sure they’re fully aware of the condition of Onyekuru’s knee after his injury towards the end of last year.
Should the Germans pull out, it’s claimed there’s also interest from Spain and France.
