Paul Onuachu eyes historic 14-year goal record at Trabzonspor

Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu is on the brink of shattering a 14-year-old record at Turkish Süper Lig side Trabzonspor, Afrik-Foot reports.

​Onuachu has been in sensational form all season, acting as the undisputed talisman for the Black Sea Storm.

The Nigerian international has already racked up 20 goals and two assists across all competitions, proving indispensable to Fatih Tekke’s side.

​His impact in the Süper Lig is even more impressive. Onuachu has been involved in over 40% of Trabzonspor’s 48 league goals, single-handedly keeping them in the hunt for a Champions League qualification spot.

​The giant striker has found the back of the net in each of his last six league appearances—punishing Fatih Karagümrük, Gaziantep, Fenerbahçe, Samsunspor, Antalyaspor, and Kasımpaşa.

This remarkable run has put him on the verge of history. According to Sabah Spor, if Onuachu scores against Kayserispor on Monday, he will become the first Trabzonspor player in 14 years to score in seven consecutive Süper Lig matches, matching Burak Yilmaz’s record from the 2011/12 season.

​History favors the Nigerian; in the reverse fixture, Trabzonspor dominated in a 4-0 victory where Onuachu provided both a goal and an assist.

Given his current clinical form, he is widely expected to find the net again on Monday. Beyond the record, the stakes are high for the club, as Trabzonspor must win to keep pace with league leaders Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray.

​Paul Onuachu’s Future: Saudi Giants Circle for Trabzonspor Talisman

​Onuachu’s goal-scoring exploits haven’t gone unnoticed, with several foreign clubs reportedly weighing up summer moves.

​Recent reports suggest that Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli are seriously interested in the forward. The Saudi giants are reportedly preparing a massive financial package to lure the Super Eagles star away from Turkey.

While it remains to be seen if Onuachu will take the bait, he has a reliable source of information in teammate Anthony Nwakaeme, who previously played in the Saudi Pro League and can offer firsthand advice on the move.

​For now, however, Onuachu’s focus remains firmly on the pitch as he looks to fire Trabzonspor to a historic finish.
