Transfer: Super Eagles striker seals N2.8bn move to Genk -

Racing Genk have announced that they have reached an agreement with FC Midtjylland for the transfer of Paul Onuachu, via their official website.

The Super Eagles striker has signed a five-year contract with the Blue-White, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2024.

Though the fee paid by Racing Genk has not been disclosed, it is believed to be in the region of €7million.

That makes Onuachu the most expensive Nigerian player sold by a Scandinavian club.

Chelsea paid £16million to sign John Obi Mikel, but Norwegian outfit Lyn Oslo received only £4million from the deal.

Onuachu began his professional career at FC Midtjylland in 2012 and netted 74 goals in 181 games for the Superliga side.
