The Belgian club have paid a reported €8m for the 21-year-old, who scored 10 goals and provided 12 assists in 30 Serie B games last season.

He has big boots to fill as Aston Villa recently splashed out a club-record €25m to sign his predecessor Wesley.

Nonetheless, the move represents a big step-up for the Nigerian, who was only plying his trade in Serie D four years ago.

Okereke becomes the second player to leave Spezia today after Tommaso Augello, who signed for Sampdoria.
