Henry Onyekuru: Former Everton striker must prove himself at Monaco - Joseph Yobo

Nigeria and Everton legend Joseph Yobo claims Henry Onyekuru must prove his quality at new club Monaco.

The 22-year-old’s inability to secure a work permit in England cut his dream to play for the Toffees, having joined the Merseysiders in 2017.
