Turkish Super Lig side Trabzonspor have reignited their pursuit of Paul Onuachu, seeking to secure a permanent deal for the Southampton forward.
The Super Eagles attacker joined Trabzonspor last summer on a season-long loan following an underwhelming spell at Southampton, where he failed to score in 11Premier League appearances.
However, Onuachu quickly endeared himself to Trabzonspor fans with his prolific goal-scoring, netting 17 goals in 25 appearances for the Turkish club.
His impressive form sparked transfer negotiations during the summer, but Southampton’s £13 million valuation of the striker stalled the deal.
Fresh reports now suggest that Trabzonspor are prepared to renew their efforts to sign the Nigerian ahead of the January transfer window, although no official bid has been submitted yet.
Meanwhile, Trabzonspor are not the only club interested in Onuachu. Turkish rivals Besiktas are reportedly ready to compete for his signature, while his former club, KRC Genk, are also exploring a potential return for the towering striker.
At Southampton, Onuachu continues to struggle for regular playing time, making just five appearances this season and amassing a total of only 87 minutes on the pitch.
The Nigerian forward is reportedly keen to secure more playing time, making a January move a likely option. However, it remains uncertain whether any potential transfer will be a permanent deal or another temporary arrangement.
