Zulte-Waregem have insisted on a thorough screening of Victor Osimhen because the young striker is prone to injuries, according to the Belgian club.

Osimhen, 19, has endured many months on the sidelines due to injuries at Wolfsburg and Zulte-Waregem want to be sure he will be fully fit before they will agree to sign him on a season-long loan.
