Nigerian Onuachu Wins Turkish League Goal of the Season Award
Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has won the 2025/26 Turkish Süper Lig Goal of the Season award for his stunning bicycle kick in Trabzonspor's 4-2 victory over Fatih Karagümrük on September 27, 2025. The Nigerian forward's acrobatic overhead effort beat strikes from Orkun Kökçü and Marco Asensio in fan voting to claim the prestigious recognition. Onuachu's award caps a remarkable season where he finished as joint top scorer with 22 goals and 2 assists alongside Eldor Shomurodov. The 31-year-old Nigerian was on a blistering 10-match scoring streak that propelled him clear of the chasing pack before Shomurodov drew level in the closing weeks. This achievement continues Onuachu's rise at Trabzonspor, where he has established himself as a club icon after initially joining on loan. His latest honor comes amid growing transfer speculation, with reports suggesting Saudi Arabian clubs are preparing lucrative offers to lure him away from Turkey. Having proven his value on one of Europe's most competitive stages, Onuachu further strengthens his status as one of Nigeria's most reliable forwards abroad. With transfer rumors swirling, will Onuachu stay with Trabzonspor or pursue a lucrative Saudi Arabian move, and how does this achievement affect his chances of Super Eagles selection for upcoming tournaments?
