Henry Onyekuru is attracting interests from leading European clubs including Arsenal and Chelsea

Arsenal and Chelsea have joined the queue of clubs keeping a check on Nigerian prospect Henry Onyekuru.

According to MailOnline other clubs interested in the lad include Sevilla, Borussia Dortmund, Monchengladbach and Lille.

The 19-year-old winger plays for K.A.S. Eupen in Belgium and was a target for Celtic in January who had a bid of £1million rejected.

Onyekuru went AWOL for several days in the hope of pushing through a transfer to Glasgow but has since returned to action and has been given assurances he can leave in the summer.

The Belgians though are looking for £6million with the fee key to Onyekuru being able to gain a work permit in the UK.
