Through their official website, Premier League side Southampton have confirmed the deadline day transfers of two Super Eagles-eligible players, with one inbound and the other outbound.
Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has joined the Saints on a permanent deal from Belgian Pro League table toppers Racing Genk, subject to work permit and international clearance.
The FC Ebedei product has put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him at the St. Mary's Stadium until the end of the 2025-2026 season.
Onuachu has made 328 appearances for three different clubs since he moved to Europe, scoring 164 goals including 85 in the colours of Racing Genk.
Belgium U20 international of Nigerian descent Kazeem Olaigbe has been recalled from his loan spell at Scottish Premiership club Ross County.
The winger cum midfielder will spend the remainder of the season on loan at League Two club Harrogate Town.
Olaigbe has been allocated the number 10 jersey at Harrogate Town and could make his Football League debut against Carlisle United on Saturday.
The 20-year-old arrived at the Saints from Anderlecht in the summer of 2019 on a scholarship deal before signing his first professional contract in January 2020.
