Henry Onyekuru snubbed Paris Saint-Germain before signing for Everton

New Everton signing Henry Onyekuru has told Belgian media he could have joined Paris Saint-Germain if they had not given him just two hours to decide his future.

Everton confirmed earlier this week they had snapped up Onyekuru from Belgian outfit Eupen, where he finished as the league's joint-top goal scorer last season.

The Nigeria international told Het Laatste Nieuws he might have been preparing for life in Ligue 1 had PSG not been in such a hurry.

"I had even completed my medical at PSG, but for the Parisians, it had to be all very fast," Onyekuru, who claimed a total of 48 clubs had approached him, said.
