This can put a lot of the short-term ambitions from the KRC Genk: while the Limburg club lost Tolu Arokodare, who left for Wolverhampton, it’s now … Hyeon-Gyu Oh, its supposed replacement, which leaves.
Thorsten Fink must tear out his hair – or have received sacred guarantees from his direction to soothe it. Because the KRC Genk coach will lose his two attackers in the space of 24 hours, while the Belgian transfer window closes tomorrow evening.
We knew since the beginning of the summer that Tolu Arokodare, top scorer of Jupiler Pro League last season, was going to leave Racing Genk. It was generally acted, and the German coach counted on Hyeon-Gyu Oh to replace him; The South Korean has already started several games this season.

This Sunday, after a few days of negotiations, the transfer from Arokodare to Wolverhampton was finally finalized. He thus became the most expensive outgoing transfer in the history of the club, sold for 27 million euros to the Wolves and exceeding Sander Berge sold 25 million at Sheffield United in 2020.
But a few hours later, breathtaking twist: this freshly broken record could already be outdated … for Hyeon-Gyu Oh ! Indeed, according to the Newspaperthe South Korean will leave Genk for the VFB Stuttgart, winner of the Cup, who would have put 28 million euros on the table.
Still according to the Newspaperhis replacement would already be known: Jusef Erabi (22), Hammarby striker, is expected to land to strengthen the genkois offensive sector. More than to hope, in Limburg, that adaptation is fast!
