Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu has officially completed a three-year move to Trabzonspor after reaching an agreement with Southampton in July 2025. At age 31, Onuachu returns to Turkey, where he had an impressive loan spell with the Black Sea club in 2023/24, scoring 15 goals in 21 games in the Super Lig. His transfer is celebrated as a homecoming by Trabzon fans, who remember his goal-scoring impact.
Following a challenging season with Southampton — netting only four goals in 25 matches as the club was relegated — Onuachu was eager for a fresh start. His permanent move to Trabzonspor has generated excitement, with the striker declaring, « I’m back, stronger, more ready, and hungrier to score. There’s unfinished business here. »
Trabzonspor is counting on Onuachu’s experience and physical presence to boost their attack for the 2025/26 Super Lig season. With the club aiming high after a period of rebuilding, his signing is expected to make a difference in their quest for domestic and European success.
Onuachu’s transfer is among the most talked-about African moves this summer and could redefine his career path in Turkey. Fans and commentators alike will be watching his every move as the season approaches.
