Nigeria international and Leganes defender Kenneth Omeruo says Genk should allow Paul Onuachu get his dream move to leave the club this summer as he was worked hard to earn a move.
Genk are open to allowing the lanky forward who scored 25 goals last season leave the club this summer but their valuation of the 26 years old has so far made it impossible for interested teams.
They want a fee in the region of €20-25m, a sum which clubs have struggled to meet as they come to terms with the financial reality of losses suffered due to the coronavirus pandemic.
West Ham are the leading contenders for his signature but the move has suffered several setbacks with many suggesting that they could back out of a move if a deal isn’t reached by the end of this month.
Reacting to the situation of Onuachu, his international teammate with the senior national team of Nigeria Omeruo said this is the best time for him to leave and Genk should show understanding.
“ This is the best time for him. It is true the market is quiet so the club has to adapt to the change and let him go to a better club. This season might not be like last one. I hope he does better but it’s football you never know.
“So they have to adapt and let him go to a better and bigger club. He has worked hard to earn it. My thoughts though”, Omeruo posted on Instagram.
