“I am happy to be here and ready to achieve more with the club,” he added.
Olympiacos have confirmed the signing of the 24-year-old star on their official website by stating: “Olympiacos have announced the acquisition of international ace, Henry Onyekuru.
“The Nigerian, born on June 5, 1997, in Lagos, has been acquired from Monaco after signing a four-year contract.
“Having spent five years at Aspire Academy, Onyekuru took the first big step in his career in 2015 by signing a contract with Eupen.
“His 30 goals in 60 games with the Belgian club attracted several clubs with Everton acquiring his services in 2017. The Nigerian spent the next two seasons on loan at Anderlecht (28 assists, 10 goals) and Galatasaray (31 assists and 14 goals) respectively.”
Onyekuru joined Premier League side, Everton in 2017 for £7 million and was immediately loaned out to Anderlecht where he was handed the number 9 jersey.
He made his debut for the Super Eagles in a 3-0 friendly win over Togo on June 1, 2017.
