Arsenal have been praised by prolific striker Paul Onuachu, who says he “really” loves watching the Gunners.

The 26-year-old has been in red-hot form for Genk this season, registering 29 league goals and 31 in all competitions.

Onuachu joined the Belgian club from Denmark’s Midtjylland in 2019 for £5.4million and, according to Het Laatste Nieuws, could be sold if they receive an offer above £22million.

Alongside loving Arsenal, the 10-cap Nigeria international – who stands a mighty 6ft 7in – is a big fan of two former Gunners strikers, Emmanuel Adebayor and Nwankwo Kanu.

“I really like Arsenal,” Onuachu told Sporza, as translated by Tribal Football.

“Adebayor is one of the players I have admired the most. I was a really big fan of him and Kanu. I really love watching Arsenal.”

It’s great to hear a player in such impressive form with a frightening goal tally declare his love for Arsenal and potentially give the board food for thought in terms of making enquiries.

As well as obviously being a huge asset in the air thanks to his height, Onuachu shines at hold-up play and laying off the ball, has an eye for a pass and boasts impressive acceleration.

That said, Arsenal are pretty well stocked in the attacking department as it is, and with Folarin Balogun having penned a new contract, he’ll now also be in Mikel Arteta’s long-term plans.
