Having managed to seal the loan of Southampton’s Paul Onuachu, Trabzonspor are more than happy with his return to this day.
The Nigerian forward, who was anything but a success at St Mary’s, has hit the ground running in Turkey, scoring six goals and providing an assist in eight league games.
We’ve already covered the idea that Trabzonspor would ideally like to sign him permanently, and Fotospor add a bit more to that.
They explain the Süper Lig side are very keen to continue the adventure with Onuachu, and would ideally like to offer him a ‘new contract’, as they plan a ‘long trip’ with him and Nicolas Pépé going forward as long as there are no injuries.
Fotospor then explain the ideal scenario would be to purchase the striker full-time, but, ‘if not, they want to loan him for one more year’.
What could be critical in their attempts with whether Southampton return to the Premier League, which remains a possibility as they sit fourth in the Championship after 17 games, firmly in a play-off spot, one point behind Leeds United.
Then again, even if the Saints were to be promoted, it seems unlikely they would want Onuachu back, since he never managed to find the back of the net for them in 12 appearances despite spending €18m on his services from KRC Genk.
