No Regrets Over Unfulfilled Premier League Dream

Henry Onyekuru has revealed that he has no regrets over his decision to join Everton in 2017, despite being unable to fulfill his dream of playing in the Premier League.

Everton snapped up the Nigerian winger in 2017 after he came to the limelight with his impressive displays in Belgium for KAS Eupen.

The 23-year-old failed to make a competitive appearance for the Toffees due to his inability to secure a UK work permit and was subsequently loaned out before being permanently sold to Monaco in 2019.

“The first dream is to play in the Premier League, it may not have worked out at Everton but I have no regrets about it,” Onyekuru told BBC Africa Sport.

“When I received offers from top clubs in England I knew back then that I needed a work permit to play.

“That it didn’t happen then has nothing to do with my talent but red tape that’s beyond my control.”

Onyekuru is reportedly edging closer to a move away from Monaco after falling down the pecking order at the club.
