Club career


Onuachu moved to Danish club FC Midtjylland in 2012, on a scholarship, from their affiliate team in Nigeria, Ebedei.[2] He was a prolific scorer for their youth team, and made his first-team debut in the Cup later that year, before making his league debut in December 2012.[2] In June 2013 he signed a new three-year contract with the club,[3] before extending it for a further three-years in August 2015.[4] In early 2015 he was loaned to Vejle BK, before returning to FC Midtjylland ahead of the 2015–16 season.[5]

In August 2019 he signed for Belgian club Genk.[6]


International career


Onuachu was called up to the Nigeria under-23 national team in February 2015.[7] In March 2019 he received his first call-up to the Nigerian senior team.[8]

On 26 March 2019, Onuachu scored his first goal for Nigeria in a friendly match against Egypt. The goal was scored within the first ten seconds of the game, and the fastest ever scored for Nigeria.[9] Following the goal Onuachu was heralded as the "toast of Nigerian football", with "his coach, team-mates, journalists and fans talking about him".[10] He was selected to the Nigeria squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.[11] He played in Nigeria's 1–0 win over Burundi.[12]
