Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu has been named the Turkish Süper Lig Goal of the Week after his superb strike for Trabzonspor in their 3–2 derby defeat to Fenerbahçe over the weekend. The honour was decided by fan voting on the league’s official social media platforms.
Despite Trabzonspor’s loss, Onuachu’s powerful header stood out as the most eye-catching goal of Matchweek 22, underlining his continued influence in Turkey’s top flight this season.
The 31 year old Nigerian has enjoyed a prolific campaign with Trabzonspor currently leading the league scoring charts with 16 goals and the latest individual award adds to several recognitions he’s already earned this season.
Editorial
Paul Onuachu’s latest accolade reflects his remarkable resurgence in Turkish football. His aerial prowess and goal-scoring consistency have made him a central figure at Trabzonspor, even in matches where the team does not get the desired result. Being voted Goal of the Week shows both the quality of his finishing and the admiration he commands from fans familiar with moments of brilliance across the Süper Lig.
While Trabzonspor will be disappointed to drop points in a high-profile fixture, Onuachu’s individual recognition will lift spirits among supporters. It also reinforces how effective he has been as a holding striker and occasional match decider traits that have seen him become one of the league’s most feared attackers this season.
For Nigerian fans, the award continues a theme of strong contributions from local talent abroad, with Onuachu’s form bringing attention to the quality and impact of Super Eagles players in Europe’s competitive leagues. If he maintains this level, further honours and important goals are likely as the season unfolds.
