Onuachu Southampton moves a big risk – Babangida

Former Super Eagles winger Tijani Babangida has approved of Paul Onuachu’s decision to join Southampton.

Southampton Seal completed a deadline move to Jupiler League top scorer from KRC Genk on Tuesday.

The Saints are fighting relegation in the Premier League and Onuachu’s move has been seen as desperate.

Tijani Babangida, who made 77 appearances for Ajax, has defended the move, arguing that the great CF has what it takes to lift Southampton out of relegation and even earn another big move.

“Many people will look at Southampton’s position and Genk’s position in Belgium and question the move,” Babangida told FL.

“I think that if Onuachu plays in Southampton, it could help them not to go down. He only needs 5-10 very good games.

“A solid time at the Club could earn him a move to bigger teams like Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​Madrid or any other big club in Europe.

“He may be in the Champions League where they can see him more, but I think he only came out to fight and face the challenges ahead.”

“If he is able to maintain his record of goals, but it is a great challenge. He wants to rise to the challenge and try to see what he can do because that team is struggling to survive. I hope he does and I think he will.”
