Newly appointed Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho has identified Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu as a top transfer target, as he looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of the upcoming season, according to OwnGoalNigeria. Onuachu, who impressed in the Turkish league last season with 15 goals in 21 games, is valued at €15 million by his current club Southampton.
According to sources close to the club, Mourinho has instructed Fenerbahce officials to sign the Nigerian forward, who is known for his pace, clinical finishing, and aerial ability. Onuachu's impressive performance last season made him a fan favorite at Trabzonspor, where he spent the season on loan, and Mourinho believes he can be a crucial addition to Fenerbahce's attack.
The signing would be a significant coup for Fenerbahce, as Onuachu's goal-scoring ability and experience in the Turkish league would make him an asset to the team. With Mourinho's coaching expertise and Onuachu's skills, Fenerbahce could be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.
Onuachu's potential signing would also be a testament to Mourinho's reputation for spotting talent and his ability to improve players. The Portuguese coach has a history of getting the best out of his players, and Onuachu could be the next beneficiary of his coaching prowess.
The deal is reportedly in the advanced stages, with Onuachu eager to join the Istanbul-based club and work under Mourinho's guidance. Fenerbahce fans are excited at the prospect of seeing Onuachu in action, and the club's hierarchy is confident that the signing would be a major statement of intent for the upcoming season.
