The 26-year-old Nigerian striker has gradually worked his way into the top as a result of his end product in the Belgian league this season.
Onuachu continued his red-hot form for Racing Genk in the Belgian First Division A after taking his goal tally for the season to 14 goals from 14 appearances following his brace in a 4-2 win over Antwerp on Sunday December 6.

It took the Owerri born striker less than 5 minutes to put Genk 2-1 up after conceding an early goal. He was replaced by his compatriot Cyriel Dessers in the 80th minute, and he had a taste of action by scoring in the 88th minute.
With those strikes the towering forward is now the leading scorer in Europe’s top fifteen leagues ahead of Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski (12), Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin (11) and PSG’s Kylian Mbappe (10).
He will be looking to increase his tally when Genk will meet Anderlecht on December 11.
