Kahveci hails Onuachu as Super Lig's biggest aerial threat

Ex-Besiktas defender Nihat Kahveci has hailed Super Eagles attacker Paul Onuachu as the most physically dominant aerial threat in Turkey's top flight. Kahveci's respect grew after Onuachu's powerful headed goal in Trabzonspor's 3-2 win over Fenerbahce, where he also linked well with a cross from Mathias Fjørtoft Løvik. The Nigerian striker's 16 goals and one assist in 19 league games have put him top of the goal scorers list, one goal ahead of Eldor Shomurodov despite playing two fewer games. Kahveci stated: 'I don't see any center-back who can stop Onuachu' due to his size and jumping ability, adding 'maybe there isn't one in the world.' This performance has solidified Onuachu's reputation as Trabzonspor's key attacking threat ahead of the Fenerbahce derby.
