Belgian outfit, KRC Genk, have announced that they have signed Nigerian forward, Yira Sor from Slavia Prague on a four-year deal.
Genk have reportedly been hot on the trail of the forward since last season, but a deal could not be completed as talks fell through last summer.
The deal would see Yira Sor partner yet another fellow Nigerian in attack Paul Onuachu, who is increasingly looking likely to leave the club.
Sor was an attacking partner with Super Eagles striker, Peter Olayinka in Slavia Prague.
The Jupiler League club statement read:
“KRC Genk today signed an agreement with Yira Sor until 2027 and thus takes over from Slavia Prague. The 22-year-old Nigerian can handle all offensive positions and he also proved that at the European level.
“In the 21-22 season, he scored 6 goals in 6 European games, including a goal against Feyenoord in the Conference League quarter-finals.”
