Onyekuru Named Talent Of The Year
Everton forward Henry Onyekuru has been named Belgium's ‘Talent of the Year’ at The Golden Shoe Awards in Brussels.
The award picks out the brightest young player in the Belgian Jupiler League, with the Blues’ Onyekuru edging Wolfsburg’s former Oostende forward Landry Dimata, and KV Mechelen’s Hassane Bandé.
Onyekuru had a strong 2017 for, first, Eupen and then Belgian giants Anderlecht, whom he joined on loan soon after signing for Everton over the summer.
He netted on 24 occasions for the former in the 2016/17 campaign, and followed that up with a further 10 goals at Anderlecht until injury forced his early return to the Toffees.
