Yira Sor has completed a move to Belgian side, KRC Genk on a permanent transfer from SK Slavia Prague.
The 22-year old forward who made 10 appearances for Sk Slavia Prague of Czech Republic during the first half of the season joined KGC Genk on a five-year deal.
Genk confirmed his arrival with a post on their Club official website on Wednesday afternoon, describing the starlet as a player who will give them more options in their attack.
“KRC Genk today signed an agreement with Yira Sor until 2027 and thus takes over from Slavia Prague. The 22-year-old Nigerian can handle all offensive positions and he also proved that at European level. In the 21-22 season, he scored 6 goals in 6 European games, including a goal against Feyenoord in the Conference League quarter finals.
“The combination of his speed and technique makes him a scourge for any defense and his dynamic style of play gives our squad even more attacking options. The sensation of the Conference League will start from now on with an individual training program and then, when the squad returns from the current break, join the squad of Wouter Vrancken with the number 14 on their back.
“Welcome Yira and good luck at KRC Genk!.”
The pacy youngster who signed until 2027, will join Nigeria international forward Paul Onuachu as an option for his new club.
