The race to sign Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has intensified as Fenerbahce, a former Turkish Super Lig champion, has joined Trabzonspor in the pursuit, according to Soccernet. Onuachu's impressive performance last season, where he scored 15 goals and provided four assists in 21 Turkish Super Lig games, has caught the attention of both teams.
Onuachu is expected to return to Southampton, the club that loaned him to Trabzonspor for the previous season. However, it appears that neither party is interested in a reunion, sparking rumors about his future. Trabzonspor wants to sign Onuachu on a loan basis, but Southampton is holding out for a permanent transfer worth €11 million, a price that Trabzonspor is unwilling to pay.
Fenerbahce, with its stronger financial position and motivation to reclaim the Super Lig title, may have the upper hand in the competition. The club is eager to add Onuachu to its roster, believing his skills will help them achieve their goal. As the transfer window heats up, it remains to be seen which team will ultimately secure the services of the talented Super Eagles striker.
