KAS Eupen striker Henry Onyekuru has confirmed that Arsenal have approached him to sign him during the summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old is expected to become Arsene Wenger's first summer signing.
He scored 24 goals in all competitions for his club this season and is at the moment in action with the Nigerian national team.
"It’s a good feeling for a club like Arsenal to make a bid for me, this is due to my hard work in training and games," Onyekuru told the Nigerian Football Federation.
"Thierry Henry has always been my idol since I was a kid.
"I was watching him play, watching Arsenal and going to YouTube to watch most of his games.
"I remember saying if I had to move to the Premier League I want to be like Thierry Henry, so it's likely to come true and I'm looking towards it at the moment."
The youngster made his full Nigeria debut on Thursday in his side's 3-0 friendly win over Togo.
