Everton striker Henry Onyekuru has joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan, the Turkish club have confirmed.
The 21-year-old signed for the Toffees last summer before being loaned to Belgian side Anderlecht to help him qualify for a work permit.
Onyekuru scored nine goals in 19 appearances for Anderlecht but suffered a serious knee injury in December and returned to Merseyside for treatment.
He was originally signed from Belgian club KAS Eupen for 拢7m.
Born in Onitsha, Nigeria, Onyekuru joined the Aspire Academy aged 13 and spent five years at the Doha-based facility before joining Eupen.
In two seasons at the Belgian top-flight club he scored 30 goals in 60 matches in all competitions.
