Why is he so in demand? Has anyone seen him play? His goals scoring record isn't that great in the Belgian league, 12 in 29 last season and 6 in 17 this season.

Nice header for the goal.
How is he playing overall?a nice header to the right post corner
Not really, it's not as if they're really going to progress that far with or without him.Gent qualify for Champions League knock out. That might complicate a January deal for Depoitre.
All our Belgian players came from Holland rather than Belgium bar Dembele who did play the bulk of his Pre-Prem career in Holland. Not to sure how well a 27 year who's played his entire career in domestic league will adapt to the EPL.
When this guy and his teammate Moses Simon were linked about ~2 months ago (right around our away Anderlecht game) I started taking in some Genk games. I have seen 5/6 of their CL games and some Jupiler league games. From this limited knowledge I can say that this guy has more in his locker than Benteke. Not saying that he will be more effective than Benteke but rather he has a broader skillset. He is not just a pure #9.
He can carry the ball and properly pass it. Dribbling similar to Kane but not Kane's range of passing. Bigger than Harry, faster and stronger as well. He will be a pain for most CBs in the PLWould not supplant Harry when in-form but will definitely keep him on his toes. I think he would be a nice addition as he seems to have the toolset required of a CF in Poch's setup. The one reservation I would have is workrate. Not his movement for the ball but rather his effort in the press. At 14M it might be a stretch but at the 7-8M previously mentioned I would snap him up.
Indeed, the buffalos. I guess I am not entirely comfortable writing it that way. I'm use to Ghent.*Gent not Genk. Other than that very informative. I have seen him a few times in CL and my assessment is in line with yours.

Glad to see that my assessment wasn't entirely pulled from my nether-regions. If Levy can do his magic, obviously assuming mitchell and poch are onboard, then I see this one being a reasonable transfer. Another person I would more accurately compare him to is Graziano Pelle; less flamboyantly skilled but more athletic gifted. What do you think of that comparison?
