Southampton have announced the permanent transfer of Super Eagles forward Paul Onuachu to Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor.
The saints confirmed the transfer Friday in a statement on their website.
Southampton Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed with Trabzonspor for the transfer of striker Paul Onuachu,” the club said.
The 31-year-old is set to leave St Mary’s after a two-and-a-half-year spell, in which he scored four goals in 40 appearances, to join the Turkish side, who he was also loaned to during the 2023/24 season.
We thank Paul for his efforts during his time as a Saints player and wish him well.
Southampton will be playing in the English Championship next season after suffering relegation from the Premier League last season.
They were relegated alongside Ipswich Town and Leicester City.
Onuachu spent the 2023-2024 season on loan at Trabzonspor, scoring 15 times in 21 matches.
He made his international debut for Nigeria in 2019 and has 24 caps and three goals for the Super Eagles.
Also, he was part of the Super Eagles squad that finished as runners-up in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
