Genk striker Paul Onuachu has been touted for moves to Liverpool and West Ham, but could now end up signing for Borussia Dortmund instead.
Sky Sports Austria report that Dortmund have started looking for potential Erling Haaland replacements.
The Norwegian is likely to move on in 2022, and Dortmund want a big, physical hitman to replace him.
It’s now claimed that Dortmund want to sign Onuachu, who has been shining in Belgium with Genk.
The 27-year-old has smashed 11 goals in 15 games this season. Last term, Onuachu found the net 35 times in 41 games.
The Nigerian target man, who stands at a giant 6ft 7in tall, could now earn a huge move.
Onuachu has been linked with Liverpool and West Ham
Onuachu’s links to Dortmund come after suggestions of a potential move to Liverpool or West Ham United.
Genk sporting director Dimitri de Conde suggested last month that Onuachu would be perfect for Liverpool.
It’s unclear whether Liverpool actually do like Onuachu, but his goal record makes him very appealing.
West Ham wanted Onuachu over the summer, with Voetbal Belgie reporting that they backed out of the race due to his asking price.
The Hammers may end up regretting that decision, with Onuachu now being lined up for a big move to Germany.
