The move comes on the back of an impressive campaign in Switzerland where he scored 14 goals in 44 outings for FC Zurich across all competitions.
The 21-year-old is expected to boost Genk’s attacking force with his pace and goalscoring abilities in the 2019-20 league season and in their UEFA Champions League quest.
