Onuachu also picked the Golden Shoe Award following a stellar campaign for Genk.

The Nigeria international scored 33 goals and provided five assists in 38 league appearances for the Smurfs.

Onuachu played a key role as Genk won the Belgian Cup and came second behind Club Brugge in the league.

He has been linked with a move away from the club with Sevilla, Liverpool, Celtic and RB Leipzig said to be interested in his services.
