Ugbo has been linked to a AS Monaco, a number of Italian clubs, and KRC Genk. Genk seems the most reasonable next step. Especially, as their current striker Paul Onuachu will leave the club for a serious fee. However, I don't see KRC Genk willing to loan him.
All Nigeria Soccer report that he has agreed on personal terms with Genk. He still have 1 year contract left, so 4 to 5 million are the prices that are going around, wich shouldn't be a problem for Genk.
Going to Genk, I'm delighted with him coming. Looks like a great striker to replace Onauchu when he leaves eventually
