September 27, (THEWILL) – Paul Onuachu has made a compelling argument to start for the Super Eagles. The striker has retained his goal-scoring form from last season for Racing Genk, scoring and assisting as a starter and the few times he has come off the bench.
He ended his last game with a hattrick that could have ben four but for a missed penalty. There is no better way to announce his readiness for a starting spot than his man-of-the-match performance for his club. .
The forward scored all three of Genk’s goals between the 42nd minute of the first half and 47th minute of the second half, taking his side to second place on the league table.
The 6ft 8in forward now has eleven goals in all competitions this season, Napoli’s Victor Osimhen has six goals, Union Berlin’s Taiwo Awoniyi has five, while Trabzonspor’s Anthony Nwakaeme and Al Shabab’s Odion Ighalo have four goals each.
Is this enough for Rohr to give Onuachu a start in the next round of World Cup qualifiers?
