Barcelona targets Nigerian star, Henry Onyekuru

FC Barcelona scouts were at Stade Le Canonnier to observe Nigerian star, Henry Onyekuru, who scored his seventh league goal of the season in Anderlecht’s away win at Royal Excel Mouscron.

According to Het Laatste Nieuws, a Belgian news outlet, Barcelona, Fiorentina, Ajax, and PSV all had their scouts in attendance at the game.
