Onuachu joined Southampton from Belgian Pro League outfit, KRC Genk in January but got relegated with the Saints last season.

The 29-year-old will replace Georges Mikautadze, who left for Eredivisie giants, Ajax this week.

Onuachu failed to register a goal in 12 appearances for Southampton last season.

The gangling striker was very clinical in front of goal for Genk, scoring 85 goals in 134 appearances for the Belgian club before his transition to Southampton.
