Belgian club Beerschot broke their transfer record when they splashed 1.5 million Euros to sign Blessing Eleke from Lucerne of Switzerland, according to various reports.
Beerschot chairman Francis Vrancken said he believes the striker’s market value will rise even more when he shines with his club.
Beerschot were reorganised in 2013.
Eleke, 24, has signed a three-year-contract with the club.
The tall striker was at a time linked with Belgian giants Anderlecht and has previously played in Slovenia and Israel.
The Antwerp club are back in the Belgian top-flight league after several years in the lower division.
The division two champions got their campaign off to a great start last weekend when they won 2-1 at KV Oostende.
