The 24-year-old joined Albion from Lausanne for around £4m in October 2020, going onto play nine times in the Premier League. He scored in the 2-0 win over Cardiff City in the Carabao Cup in August 2021.

He has signed a three-year deal with Genk, with an option for a further year and will wear the No 9 shirt.
