El Ouahdi Clinches Ebony Boot as Onyedika Misses Out

Genk defender Zakaria El Ouahdi has been named this season’s Ebony Boot winner, edging out Nigeria’s Raphael Onyedika. The award, which honors the best African player in the Belgian Pro League, saw El Ouahdi’s consistent defensive displays outweigh Onyedika’s midfield brilliance. Last year’s champion, Tolu Arokodare, was also among the contenders, highlighting the strong presence of Nigerian talent in Belgium. Onyedika has been a key figure for Club Brugge over the past five years and remains highly rated despite falling short. As the summer transfer window opens, reports suggest Onyedika is exploring new challenges. Clubs like Galatasaray and VfL Wolfsburg are said to be interested in securing his services.
