Paul Onuachu Poised for Turkish Return as Trabzonspor and Southampton Near Deal
Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu is reportedly on the brink of completing a return to Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor, with his current club Southampton and the Turkish champions close to agreeing a deal.
According to sources from Turkey, Southampton, recently relegated from the Premier League, are asking for around €6 million for the lanky forward. Both clubs are believed to be finalizing terms around this figure.
🔥 Onuachu’s Proven Track Record at Trabzonspor
Onuachu first impressed in Turkey during a loan spell two years ago, scoring 17 goals in 22 appearances, quickly becoming a fan favorite for his lethal finishing and physical presence.
Despite strong interest last summer, the two clubs failed to agree on a transfer fee then, but with Southampton’s recent relegation and Onuachu’s desire for consistent playing time, the move seems much closer to completion.
💭 Opinion: The Perfect Move for Onuachu’s Revival?
This potential transfer could be the fresh start Onuachu needs to regain his best form.
At Trabzonspor, he thrived in a competitive league and system tailored to his style.
With Southampton dropping to the Championship, staying in England might limit his exposure and challenge level.
Returning to a club and league where he’s already flourished could boost his confidence and market value, and keep him in the spotlight for national team call-ups.
For a forward of his caliber, consistent game time and a supportive environment are key, and Trabzonspor offers that platform.
💬 Will Onuachu’s return to Turkey reignite his goal-scoring exploits? Or should he aim to stay and fight for his place in England?
