Southampton Agrees £18m Deal For Onuachu

By Daily Sports Nigeria on February 1, 2023

English Premier League strugglers, Southampton has agreed to pay 18 million pounds for the services of in-demand Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu.

The 28-year-old will sign a three-and-half-year contract with the Saints on the January transfer deadline day.

The 6ft’7 forward has had a top season so far, 17 goals in 18 league games. The striker is keen on moving to the club and Southampton has had a €21 million (£18.5m) bid accepted by the Belgian club.

The Nigeria international, who made 18 appearances for the Super Eagles, would become the club’s fourth signing of the January transfer window after James Bree, Mislav Orsic and Carlos Alcaraz all signed earlier in the window.

Onuachu, who joined Genk from FC Midtjylland in 2019, has been in fine form for Genk in the Jupiler Pro League this season.

The striker has scored 17 goals in 22 games in all competitions. His 16 goals in 19 league games means he’s the top scorer in the league this season.

He would become the Premier League tallest player, ahead of Newcastle’s Dan Burn.
