Super Eagles star Henry Onyekuru has reportedly caught the eyes of some big European clubs with his performances for Anderlecht so far this season.
After a break out year last season with Eupen, Onyekuru has continued with some impressive performances for Anderlecht this season.
The 20-year-old netted the winner for the Anderlecht in their 2-1 away win at Royal Excel Mouscron on Saturday, November 18.
According to reports, scouts from some of the biggest clubs in Europe attended that game to monitor the Nigeria international.
Scouts from Barcelona and Manchester United were at the stadium to watch the forward who later scored the winner for Anderlecht.
Ajax, PSV, Southampton and Stoke City are also said to be interested in Onyekuru.

Onyekuru now has seven goals in 12 games for Anderlecht this season.
Last season, the forward scored 22 goals for FC Eupen of Belgium which earned him a move to Everton before he was loaned back to Belgium to play for Anderlecht.
Following his breakout season, the 20-year-old was close to joining Arsenal and also had a medical with Paris Saint-Germain before he agreed on a move to Everton.
