Onuachu completes move to Trabzonspor from Southampton

Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu has finalized a permanent move from Southampton to Trabzonspor. The Turkish club acquired the services of the towering forward for a fee of around €10 million, marking a significant financial loss for Southampton who initially paid €15 million to sign him from KRC Genk in January 2023.

Onuachu, 31, returns to Trabzonspor after a successful loan spell last season where he scored 17 goals in 25 matches. His time in England with Southampton was less fruitful, managing only four goals and one assist in 25 Premier League appearances.

Trabzonspor, who finished third in the Turkish Super Lig last season, are looking to build on their success and kick off the new season under the leadership of manager Fatih Tekke on Sunday, August 10th.
