Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu has been crowned the Turkish Super Lig Player of the Month for October, following a string of outstanding performances for Trabzonspor, TalkTalk Nigeria reports.

The towering forward was instrumental for the Black Sea Storm throughout the month, recording two goals and one assist in just three league appearances — a contribution that helped Trabzonspor remain unbeaten with two wins and one draw.

Onuachu’s consistent brilliance saw him edge out top contenders such as Rafa Silva, Andre Onana, Milan Skriniar, Marco Asensio, Orkun Kokcu, Ederson Moraes, Wilfred Singo, and Davinson Sanchez to claim the prestigious award.

The winner was determined through fan votes, a testament to the Nigerian’s growing influence and admiration among supporters in Turkey.

This marks another milestone for the 31-year-old, who has already clinched the Goal of the Month award twice this season. So far, Onuachu has tallied seven goals and one assist in 11 league outings, proving himself as one of the most lethal forwards in the league.

⚽ Opinion: Onuachu’s Redemption Arc Is Proof That Patience Pays

Paul Onuachu’s story is one of persistence and quiet evolution. Once criticized for inconsistency during his stint in England, the Nigerian hitman has found new life in Turkey — and more importantly, a club that plays to his strengths.

At Trabzonspor, he’s not just scoring goals; he’s leading by example, blending physical dominance with intelligent movement and a knack for decisive moments. His recognition as Player of the Month isn’t just a personal triumph — it’s a statement that form, confidence, and environment can transform a player’s career.

What makes Onuachu’s resurgence even more exciting is how it reflects the depth of Nigerian football talent thriving abroad. With Victor Osimhen battling injury, Onuachu’s form offers the Super Eagles another reliable striking option ahead of upcoming international fixtures.

If he keeps this momentum, the 31-year-old could easily become one of the standout African players in Europe this season — and a reminder that class, like fine wine, only gets better with time.

🔥 From Belgium to England and now Turkey, Onuachu’s journey proves one thing: true strikers never fade; they just find their rhythm again.
