Paul Onuachu’s Premier League dream has turned into a challenging chapter.
The Nigerian striker joined Southampton from KRC Genk in the winter of 2023, aiming to make a mark in England’s top flight.
However, in 11 appearances during the 2022-23 season, including four starts, Onuachu failed to score, totaling 405 minutes without finding the net.
Seeking redemption, he was loaned to Trabzonspor last season, where he rediscovered his scoring touch, netting an impressive 15 goals and delivering 4 assists in just 21 games. Hope renewed, Onuachu returned to Southampton in the summer. Yet, his struggles persisted—five substitute appearances added up to a mere 59 minutes in the ongoing Premier League campaign.
With limited opportunities and no goals to his name at ‘The Saints,’ speculation is rife about a January transfer. Could a club in France or Spain, familiar with his prowess from his Genk days, offer the revival he desperately needs? Onuachu’s next move might just determine if he can reignite his once-bright career.
