Southampton confirmed Friday that striker Paul Onuachu will move to Turkish club Trabzonspor on a permanent deal. The English team reached an agreement with the Turkish side for the 31-year-old forward. Onuachu played for Southampton across two seasons and six months. The Nigeria striker will return to Turkey after a successful loan spell last season. He netted 15 goals during 21 league matches for Trabzonspor.
The forward scored four goals during his 40 appearances for Southampton. His loan period at Trabzonspor proved more productive than his time with the English club. The Turkish team wanted to bring back the striker after his strong performance. Southampton agreed to sell the player rather than keep him for another season. Both clubs completed negotiations for the permanent transfer.
Onuachu will reunite with fellow Nigerian player Anthony Nwakaeme at his new club. The striker returns to familiar surroundings after his previous success there. Trabzonspor fans welcomed news of his return to the team. The forward helped the Turkish club during his temporary stay last year. His goal-scoring record convinced Trabzonspor officials to pursue a permanent signing.
