Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu is on course to achieve a historic milestone for Trabzonspor, aiming to become the club's highest-scoring foreign player in a single Süper Lig campaign. Onuachu joined Trabzonspor permanently from Southampton last summer and has since made a significant impact in the Turkish top flight, quickly establishing himself as a prolific scorer.

This season, Onuachu has been instrumental for Trabzonspor, contributing an impressive 18 goals and two assists in just 21 league matches. His remarkable involvement in 41.67% of the Black Sea Storm's league goals highlights his crucial role in the team's offensive efforts. This stellar performance has been a key factor in helping Trabzonspor climb to third place in the league standings, maintaining an outside chance of entering the title race.

Onuachu's current goal-scoring prowess reflects his outstanding 2020/21 season with Genk in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League, where he recorded 33 goals and four assists. He is now rapidly approaching a club record, needing only eight more goals to surpass Georgian legend Shota Arveladze's record of 25 goals in 34 appearances during the 1995/96 season. Achieving this would undoubtedly cement his name in Trabzonspor's history books.

The striker's ability to find the back of the net is diverse and effective; he leads the Turkish top flight in headed goals with seven, while also demonstrating equal clinicality with his feet. Several of his spectacular strikes have earned him multiple Goal of the Month awards this season. Looking ahead, Trabzonspor's remaining schedule appears relatively favorable, with only Galatasaray, currently above them, presenting a major challenge. Additionally, half of their next ten games will be played in front of their home supporters, providing an excellent platform for Onuachu to sustain his scoring momentum. Should the league leaders, Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, falter, Onuachu’s continued goal contributions could potentially propel Trabzonspor towards a dramatic Süper Lig title charge.
