He has accumulated 764 minutes of playing time and has been named in the starting XI in nine of these appearances.

Onuachu is currently the top scorer in the division and his first of the season came in the 2-1 victory against KV Oostende on October 1.

WHAT IS MORE? His superb display has seen him earn a recall to the Nigeria squad for the friendly against Portugal at Jose Alvalade Stadium on November 17.

WHAT NEXT FOR ONUACHU? Before heading to the Super Eagles friendly, he will hope to add to his tally of goals when the Smurfs take on Anderlecht in a top-flight fixture at Lotto Park on Sunday.
