The dream of Belgium Goal King Paul Onuachu is to play in the Premier League in England, according to the sporting director of his club Genk.
“Paul’s dream is to play in the Premier League, but it didn’t happen,” Genk sporting director Dimitri De Conde said in an interview.
The top scorer of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League last season was linked to several Premier League clubs this summer and he himself had picked Arsenal as his favourite club in the English top flight.
He further revealed that the club and the striker had even reached an agreement to co-operate for a transfer, but in the end nothing came out of it.
De Conde said Genk are not disappointed Onuachu did not make the big transfer.
“We must be very satisfied. We are surprised that everyone has stayed on board,” he said.
“And to be honest we as a club should certainly not be sad about that.”
