Description
<p>Racing Genk manager Wouter Vrancken has said that a move for Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu will be too expensive for the club.</p>, <p>Onuachu had been linked with a return to the Belgium Jupiler Pro League side barely six months after he left them to join Southampton in the English Premier League.</p>, <p>The 29-year-old was bought by the Saints for €18m in the January transfer window to resolve their goalscoring woes and boost their chances of surviving relegation.</p>, <p>He could not register any goal for the Saints and started only four of the 11 games he featured for the south coast based club.</p>, <p>With his struggles and the relegation of Southampton to the Championship, the Nigerian forward has been touted to be already looking for a way out of the club.</p>, <p>Vrancken admitted that a pursuit for the Nigerian striker will be problematic for his side.</p>, <p>“That depends on him. Basically, we don’t want to trade in that category, no” Vrancken told Het Laatste Nieuws via voetbalkrant.</p>, <p>Racing Genk signed Ghanaian winger Christopher Bonsu Baah for a fee of €5.2m about three weeks ago and have also bought another Nigerian striker, Tolu Arokodare, in January as an immediate replacement for Onuachu.</p>, <p>“But that’s about the limit for us. Antwerp and Club can go to double that.”</p>, <p>Onuachu has also been linked with possible moves to German Bundesliga outfits Borussia Monchengladbach, Schalke 04 and Union Berlin.</p>
