After the match, Juric praised Onuachu, saying, “When he is full of energy, he can be really impactful. He did a great job out there,” according to BBC.

In related news, Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray and Trabzonspor are both eyeing a move for Genk forward Tolu Arokodare this summer, as reported by Fotomac.

Galatasaray plans to target Arokodare if they fail to retain fellow Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, who is currently on loan from Napoli. Osimhen has had an exceptional season, scoring 27 goals and providing five assists in 32 matches. However, he is reportedly considering a move to a Premier League club.

Meanwhile, Trabzonspor had attempted to sign Arokodare last summer but was unable to meet Genk’s asking price. The 24-year-old has been in stellar form this season, scoring 20 goals and assisting seven times in 36 appearances for his club in the Belgian Pro League.
