The trophy is the second for the 26-year-old after winning the 2018/19 Belgian First Division A diadem with the side, where he scored 23 goals leading to the title triumph.

Odey, was signed by Genk last month following his impressive performances for FC Zurich, scoring 16 goals across all competitions in his two-year stay to help the Stadtclub win the 2017/18 Swiss Cup.

Samatta, who has been linked away from the Luminus Arena this summer, will be expected to feature along with the Nigeria international in their opening 2019/20 league game against Kortrijk on Friday, July 26.
