TURKEY: ONUACHU SET TO BREAK TRABZONSPOR’S FOREIGN SCORING RECORD
Paul Onuachu is closing in on a historic scoring milestone in the Turkish Süper Lig, as he aims to become Trabzonspor’s highest‑scoring foreign player in a single season.
The towering Super Eagles striker has enjoyed a prolific campaign for Trabzonspor, registering 22 league goals so far and leading the club’s scoring charts, with seven matches still to play. He has already surpassed many of his fellow forwards and is on track to eclipse longstanding goal‑scoring marks set by former foreign stars such as Georgian legend Shota Arveladze, whose record stood for decades.
Onuachu’s remarkable form has been a key factor in Trabzonspor’s strong performance in the league, where the club continues to challenge for honours. His relentlessness in front of goal has also seen him net against all of Turkey’s traditional top sides, including Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş.
The 31‑year‑old’s scoring prowess this season has been a highlight in European football circles, drawing praise for his consistency and deadly finishing ability — especially given his mid‑season form resurgence after a period of adaptation to Turkish football.
If Onuachu continues his current scoring rhythm, he could soon etch his name into Trabzonspor history as the club’s most prolific foreign goal scorer in a single Süper Lig campaign — a milestone celebrated by fans and pundits alike.
