Southampton have reportedly completed the signing of Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu
Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu is reportedly set to complete a move to Southampton from Genk for an €18 million fee including €2 million in add-ons.

The transfer brings an end to a long transfer saga as the prolific Nigerian has been constantly linked with transfers away from KRC Genk that never materialise.
Paul Onuachu set to join Southampton
Belgian football journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Onuachu to Southampton is a done deal subject to a medical in a tweet.
Southampton reportedly had a bid rejected by Genk for Onuachu earlier in the transfer window but have now come back with an improved offer.
Onuachu comes into the Southampton squad with a view to helping the Saints avoid relegation as they currently sit bottom of the league, two points from safety.
