The proposed transfer of Nigeria international forward Paul Onuachu to English Premier League side Southampton could still happen before the end of the ongoing January transfer window according to the coach of his team Genk.
Head coach of the team Wouter Vrancken speaking on the future of the 28 year old who has 17 goals in 20 league games this season said he isn’t ruling out a move despite having the player trained with the the team this morning.
Vrancken spoke in a press conference on Tuesday morning to preview Genk’s league clash with Eupen tomorrow evening, where he told reporters, via Belgian outlet HLN: “You never know what will happen. But I live very fiercely in the here and now. Paul [Onuachu] showed this morning that he likes being here, but I’m not so naive as to think that nothing can happen today.
“An exciting day? I don’t look too far ahead. Paul was very involved in the match preparation for Eupen and I’m counting on him tomorrow. There is nothing wrong with his attitude.”
“Of course, leaving Onuachu would be a loss,” he added. “The same would be true for Bryan Heynen or Carlos Cuesta. If you look at Paul’s statistics, 16 goals in half a season, you obviously don’t like to lose that. Although I am still counting on him for the time being.”
