Onuachu reveals he was disappointed about not getting move in the last transfer window
In form Nigeria striker, Paul Onuachu has revealed his had the desire to move to a bigger club last summer, but was disappointed it didn't materialise.
Onuachu who had emerged the top goal scorer in the Belgian league said he expected his achievement that season to have been a catalyst to him getting a better club, but it was not to be.
“The Golden Shoe is a great prize that I am proud of,"- Onuachu told Het Laatste Nieuws.
"But it didn't have the effect I had hoped for. It didn't change my life even though I thought it would open the way to a transfer.
"Everyone knows that I wanted to take a step higher. However, the interest was not there last winter after the Golden Shoe.
He also spoke about getting injured after his wedding could have hampered the expected progress in his career.
"After the wedding in the summer, I had set my sights on a transfer again. This time there were interested clubs (including Wolverhampton), but the puzzle pieces did not fit together."
Onuachu continued: “When I got injured in July, I was allowed to make a cross about it. No club is going to get an injured striker, hey.
"That was a disappointment. Because I believe I have shown the right things to force a transfer.
I have seen players here leave for a great club who have shown less than me. For some reason, it won't work for me.
"Maybe I don't know the right people? Do I have the wrong manager? I don't know. Football is not always fair.
He however disclosed that right now is not "obsessed" with moving away from Genk as things are going well. He still doesn't rule out a move if it comes.
"Now I'm less obsessive about a transfer. Everything is going well at Genk. I score a lot, I like being here.
“If there is an interesting offer this winter or next summer, we will look at it together with Genk.
"Because I still dream of playing in a big league.”
Onuachu has been in great form this season scoring 14 goals in 16 matches which have put in him in the eyes of clubs in England for a likely acquisition in the next summer
