"Onyekuru, who is currently on season-long loan at Belgian champions Anderlecht, scored his seventh league goal of the season Saturday, which was also the winner in their 2-1 win at Royal Excel Mouscron.


A source close the youngster said that the Spanish giants also sent a scout to watch Onyekuru destroy Royal Excel Mouscron."

Destroy sounds a bit over the top for a 2-1 win.

There was no destroying. Mouscron could've easily walked away with a draw. Wouldn't have been undeserved. It's a bit like Lukaku now it's Barcelona, the week before it was Juventus, the week before that it was PSG, the week before that it was Dortmund and so on...

Having seen him for Eupen and now Anderlecht, are there any more well known players you would compare him to....either now or potentially?

It's difficult. He's a goalscoring, agile winger with loads of pace, more of an instinct player which can make him quite difficult to coach from a tactical point of view.

I don't want to burden him and raise expectations even higher.

Everton starlet Henry Onyekuru put in another match-winning performance for current side Anderlecht at the weekend and has now began attracting interest from sides other than parent-club Everton.

Whilst caretaker manager David Unsworth's outfit have struggled in front of goal this current campaign, the Nigerian international has been in great form during his time in Belgium.

The 20-year-old has bagged an impressive seven goals in 14 league games and has spearheaded his side to third place in the Belgian First Division. The young forward was particularly potent on Saturday and scored the winner in a 2-1 victory over Royal Excel Mouscron.

Onyekuru's great performances over the last few weeks have got Everton fans hoping for an early return for the Nigerian, despite the deal originally going through due to issues regarding a work-permit.

However, according to reports Everton aren't the only club interested in securing his services this campaign.

According to Daily Post Nigeria, Catalan giants Barcelona are incredibly interested trying for the strikers services, having sent scouts to watch Anderlecht's match at the weekend - with representatives from Fiorentina, Ajax and PSV and Premier League clubs, Tottenham, Manchester United and Stoke City also present.
 
Aston Villa - Sunderland:
Browning will start in the CB, Galloway is back in the squad on the bench.

Barnsley - Cardiff:
5th yellow card. So Williams wont play today.

Nottingham - Norwich:
As always: Dowell in the first 11.

Bolton - Reading:
One more commitment for Robinson.
 
Championship
Sunderland - Tyias Browning started and played full match in 1-2 away defeat at Aston Villa

OS Match Report
"The on-loan Tottenham Hotspur forward crashed a hopeful effort towards goal but it took a wicked deflection off Browning and Ruiter was left rooted to the spot as it looped into the top corner."

No particular comments about him. Brendan Galloway was an unused sub in the match.

Nottingham Forest - Kieran Dowell started and was substituted in the 88th minute of a 1-0 home win over Norwich City

3' #NFFC 0-0 Norwich: Kieran Dowell has Forest's first shot of the game, letting fly from 30 yards but it sails high over the crossbar
6' #NFFC 0-0 Norwich: Some neat passing play sees Dowell break free down the right. He gets to the byline but Norwich cut out his cross and Forest have a corner
15' #NFFC 0-0 Norwich: A fine save by Gunn to deny Dowell's shot as the midfielder met Murphy's pass inside the area
36' #NFFC 0-0 Norwich: The visitors almost find a way through the Forest defence on the edge of the box, but The Reds clear and Dowell does brilliantly to take the ball away from danger
65' #NFFC 0-0 Norwich: Dowell skips away from Reed in the middle of the park and the Norwich man hauls him down to go into the referee's book

No particular comments about him this game (Carayol got most of the praise).

Bolton Wanderers - Antonee Robinson played full match and was booked in 2-2 home draw against Reading

OS Match Report

.@Antonee_Jedi is booked for a forceful, late lunge on Roy Beerens. Ben Alnwick gathers the subsequent free-kick. (14)
.@A1F1E9 so close to coming back to haunt his old club! Anssi Jaakkola just about manages to deny the forward from point-blank range as he connects first time with @Antonee_Jedi's cross. (90) #BWFC 2-2

Fan comment
"If I'm going to be as picky as some, the first goal is on either Robinson or Burke Either Robinson for chasing out on his own or Burke for not covering for him"

League Two
Crewe Alexandra - Conor Grant started on the bench and was brought on in the 92nd minute of a 1-0 away win at Morecambe

Sound a bit like Raheem Sterling to me?
 
Some bolton fans I know dont rate Robinson, some say he is good.

All athlete and no brains....but he is a kid, so that hopefully will come.
 
Armel said:
Yes something similar I suppose.

He'll be playing against Bayern tonight. This is the most probable team selection:

Boeckx-Spajic,Kara-Deschacht-Bruno,Dendoncker,Trebel,Kums,Onyekuru-Hanni,Teodorczyk

How is dendoncker getting on? Any chance he could leave janauary we will most likely need to replace Schneiderlin

He's been playing better since getting over his disappointment for not getting a transfer in the summer. Still not on his normal level though. Probably.
