It's been a very busy summer for Onyekuru who moved into a new mansion in Lekki. He had an opening party for the new mansion just before he joined the Super Eagles ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The forward played just one game as the Super Eagles went on to win bronze medal at AFCON 2019.

Next up for him will now be his wedding which will be attended by a host of his Super Eagles teammates including John Ogu, Oghenekaro Etebo among others.

The player is looking to complete the nuptials before he travels back to Europe to resume the season with his club.
