Victor Osimhen joins RSC Charleroi on loan

Former Golden Eaglets star Victor Osimhen has joined Belgian First Division A club Royal Charleroi Sporting Club from Bundesliga side.

Osimhen spent the last season with Belgian top-flight club Zulte-Waregem last month, but they turned down the chance to sign him after undergoing trials.

Since joining Wolfsburg in January 2017, Osimhen has made 16 competitive appearances for the German Bundesliga club in all competitions and is still searching for his first goal.
