It is often said to never go back; to an ex, an old job, or for sportsmen, a previous club. This is the cardinal rule Henry Onyekuru broke by returning to Galatasaray in January, months after joining Monaco in the summer of 2019.
Admittedly, he was only temporarily contracted to the Lions in 2018/19, but his time under Fatih Terim’s tutelage was hugely successful as the Yellow-Reds claimed a league and cup double.
The Nigerian attacker scored 14 times in 31 appearances, which was a decent return for a player who predominantly featured on the left flank, and his contributions last term helped the club to a successful season.
