Transfer: KRC Genk signs a replacement for Onuachu for €5 million

Paul Onuachu made a dream move to the Premier League side, Southampton, on the deadline day of the winter transfer window. 

League leaders, KRC Genk, have reportedly bounced from the loss of their key man, Paul Onuachu, to sign Tolu Arokorede.

Soccernet.ng earlier reported that Paul Onuachu had made a fascinating switch from the Belgian pro league side, Genk to Southampton on the January transfer deadline day.

The red-hot striker signed a three-and-a-half-year deal for a fee in the region of £18 million pounds.

The Nigerian attacker’s late switch, however, left the Smurfs blank of options for his perfect replacement, but they were able to lure his countryman, Tolu Arokorede, as his perfect replacement in the late hours of the winter transfer window.

According to reports, Genk was able to sign his similar compatriot on a 4-and-half-year deal for a fee in the region of € 5 million.

It should be mentioned that the 22-year-old was on a loan return to Valmiera from Ligue 2 side, Amiens SC.

In Valmiera, the striker bagged 22 goals with 4 assists in 34 league appearances while almost tallying the same in Amiens with 21 goals and 4 assists.

No report has, however, been made on whether the promising striker would travel with the team to Eupen or make his debut on Sunday when Genk faces Gent.
