Onuachu Is Making Fans Long for His Old Days at Trabzonspor

In Week 11 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Trabzonspor beat Alanyaspor 2-0 away from home, with the goals coming from Pina and Salah. Their main striker Paul Onuachu, however, failed to make the most of his chances and continued to fall short of his former form. The Nigerian forward scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist in the first 9 matches of the 2023-2024 season, when he played on loan for the Black Sea club. After joining the claret-blue side on a permanent transfer last season, he repeated the same level of performance, scoring 7 goals and making 1 assist. This season, however, he has failed to score in matches against Kasımpaşa, Başakşehir, Amed SK, Konyaspor, Galatasaray, Samsunspor, Gaziantep FK and Alanyaspor. In the 9 matches he has played this season, he has scored 2 goals, both of them against Gençlerbirliği. When the first 9 matches of the two seasons are compared, the drop in Onuachu's goal tally stands out. Whether the experienced player can regain his goalscoring form in the coming weeks is a matter of curiosity. After the international break, Onuachu is expected to lift his performance at Trabzonspor. The forward, who wants to end his goal drought, is reported to aim to contribute to the team's scoring for the rest of the league. The coaching staff and fans hope the Nigerian striker will once again stand out as a goalscorer for the remainder of the season.
