Forner Nigerian international Jonathan Akpoborie has backed compatriot Paul Onuachu to bang goals for new club Southampton in the English Premier League.
” Playing in the Premier League is the dream of every player and I am delighted that Paul Onuachu has made the decision of playing in England, ” Akpoborie told COMPLETESPORTS .
The former Wolfsburg star described Onuachu’s transfer from Belgian side Genk to Southampton in the English Premier League as every players dream and backed the 6ft 7″ tall striker to replicate his goal-scoring exploits with Genk at Southampton.
“He has the potentials to succeed in England going by his height, physical strength and goal sense. He will bring a lot of benefit for Southampton and will definitely help them remain in the Premier League.
“His goal scoring exploits in Belgium is never a fluke because he has been consistent and will definitely replicate it in England, ” he concluded.
Onuachu made his Saints bow as a second half substitute in their 3-0 loss at Brentford last weekend.

Onuachu and Southampton will face Wolverhampton in the Premier League this weekend.
