According to Belgian website, voetbalkrant.com, the four-time Belgian champions are not willing to allow the 28-year-old leave as they hope to claim their first league championship since 2019.
“We don’t think he (Onuachu) will leave this season because this could be their best chance to win another title,” the website said.

The lanky forward was also the club’s top scorer last term with 21 goals in 35 league outings.
