Dju Scores 7 in 8 Matches to Become Trabzonspor's Top Scorer

Trabzonspor finished Week 9 of the Trendyol Süper Lig in third place. Franculino Dju, the 22-year-old striker the club signed at the beginning of September, has made a name for himself since the first matches of the season. The player found the net 7 times in the 8 matches he has played.

Dju came on as a substitute for Paul Onuachu, who was injured in the fourth week against Gençlerbirliği. He scored his first goal in Trabzonspor's 5-0 win in that match. In the seventh week, the young forward also scored away at Samsunspor, and he scored twice in the 4-3 win over Çaykur Rizespor. With these goals, his league tally rose to four.

Dju has also been influential in the UEFA Conference League, scoring three goals in two matches. He scored twice against Finnish side KuPS Kuopio and once against Scottish club Hearts. The team has taken nine points from the three league matches Dju scored in, and six points from the two Conference League matches.

Last season, Onuachu shared the Süper Lig top scorer title with 22 goals with Eldor Shomurodov. Dju made the most of his chances while Onuachu was injured, and this season he has already surpassed Onuachu's league goal total. In the first nine weeks of the league, Trabzonspor scored 22 goals. Mohamed Salah scored eight of them. Dju is second with four goals, behind Salah.
