Super Eagles sriker Rafiu Durosinmi
Super Eagles forward Rafiu Durosinmi has completed his move to Belgian Pro League side KRC Genk from Italian club Pisa, with the Nigerian signing a four-year contract until June 2030, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 23-year-old striker joins Genk after a brief spell with Pisa, having previously established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in the Czech Republic during his time with Viktoria Plzeň.
Durosinmi scored 35 goals and provided 10 assists in 86 appearances for Viktoria Plzeň, with his performances in domestic competitions and Europe attracting interest from clubs across the continent.
Genk eventually won the race for his signature, reportedly paying Pisa €10.5m for the striker—a club-record fee.

The Belgian club had been searching for a long-term replacement for former Nigerian striker Tolu Arokodare, who left last summer, and will hope Durosinmi can reproduce the goalscoring form that made him one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe.
The move also sees Durosinmi become the 14th Nigerian to represent Genk, following in the footsteps of compatriots including Paul Onuachu, Arokodare, Cyriel Dessers, Yira Sor, Wilfred Ndidi and Sunday Oliseh.
The former Karviná striker is expected to join his new teammates later this week, with Genk betting a club-record fee on the Super Eagles forward to lead their attack into a new era.
