English Championship side Southampton have confirmed reaching an agreement with Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor for the permanent transfer of Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu.

Although Onuachu had agreed on personal terms with Trabzonspor weeks ago, negotiations between both clubs had stalled due to a disagreement over the transfer fee. However, both clubs have now reached a resolution.

In an official statement released on Friday, Southampton announced, “Southampton Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed with Trabzonspor for the transfer of striker Paul Onuachu.

The 31-year-old is set to leave St Mary’s after a two-and-a-half-year spell, in which he scored four goals in 40 appearances, to join the Turkish side, where he spent the 2023/24 season on loan.
We thank Paul for his efforts during his time as a Saints player and wish him well.”

The 31-year-old returns to Trabzonspor following an impressive loan spell last season, during which he netted 17 goals and provided four assists in all competitions, reestablishing himself as a top striker in the Turkish league.

Onuachu joined Southampton from Belgian side KRC Genk during the January 2023 transfer window for €18 million but was unable to help the club avoid relegation from the Premier League in the 2022/23 season.
