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

The 19-year-old winger plays for 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.
