Paul Onuachu is a name who has been on the radar of West Ham and its fans for quite some time now and signing Genk hitman this summer will cost the Hammers €15 million plus €5 million in add-ons (£13 million + £4.3 million add-ons). Some of the club’s fans have taken to Twitter and are in excitement on the possible capture of the Super Eagles star performer.
West Ham’s need for a new centre-forward has been well-documented already this summer. David Moyes seems to be searching high and wide for the perfect striker to compete with and provide cover for Michail Antonio.
And it now seems as though West Ham can sign the 27-year-old for what could be an absolute bargain fee totalling around £17 million will be enough to prise him away from Genk.
The Nigeria international seems to have all of the attributes needed to succeed at the London Stadium. The Genk hitman was on fire last season racking up 29 goals in 33 League games.
The 13-capped Nigeria international is an absolute giant. Standing at 6ft 7in tall, Onuachu is understandably an absolute menace in the air. His aerial ability suits West Ham’s style of play perfectly as Moyes places great priority upon set-pieces.
