K.R.C. Genk is set to finalize the signing of Jerry Afriyie after a disappointing start to the season. The dynamic forward is expected to be officially announced soon for a transfer fee that could reach six million euros, including bonuses.
What is the background of the transfer?
The Limburgers lost their opening match 2-1 to Zulte Waregem and immediately sought reinforcement. With Yira Sor's impending departure and uncertainty surrounding Noah Adedeji-Sternberg, the club urgently needed a forward. Afriyie, who spent four seasons at the Cegeka Arena, returns as a much-needed quality injection.
Why is this important for K.R.C. Genk?
The investment comes at a crucial time as the club aims to build a competitive squad. Head coach Jess Thorup has indicated that more reinforcements will follow to strengthen the team. Afriyie's dynamic playing style is expected to bolster the attack and enhance competitiveness.
What comes next?
The official announcement of the deal is expected soon. Meanwhile, Genk continues to work on further reinforcements to enter the competition with confidence. The club hopes this transfer will give the season a new boost.
