Paul Onuachu has not trained at relegated Southampton for a week as he awaits a transfer away from the club.
It was further gathered that the English Championship club do not want to loan out the striker, but rather sell him outrightly.
His former Belgian club Genk cannot afford to pay the asking price of 25 Million Euros by ‘The Saints’.
In recent weeks, Genk coach Wouter Vrancken has played either Nigerian forwards Tolu Arokodare or Yira Sor at centre-forward with very little success.
