23 year old Nigerian forward Paul Onuachu increased his goal tally this season by firing a hattrick for Danish side Midtjylland in their 7-0 win over Greve.
Onuachu claimed the match ball after scoring in the 27th, 61st and 65th minute of the game as Midtjylland ran riot against the low league side in the Danish Cup.
The over six feet tall striker who is nicknamed after tall English striker Peter Crouch already has five league goals from six games this season, a run that could see him eclipse his last season tally of 18 goals from 36 games.
Already on the radar of some top teams in Europe, it is widely believed that he missed out on a move to German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen due to Midtjylland asking price for his transfer..
His fine form has already caught the attention of the senior national team coach of Nigeria Gernot Rohr who has asked his scouts to keep a close watch on the striker who has been on the books of Midtjylland since 2013.
He initially struggled to make impact with the club, but his improved in leaps and bounds in the last 18 months with last season his best till date as he plundered a total of 24 goals in all competitions.
