Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu is looking to stretch his Super Lig scoring run to six consecutive matches when Trabzonspor visit Gaziantep FK in Sunday’s Turkish top-flight fixture.
The Nigerian centre-forward has been in remarkable form since returning from the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring six goals in his last five appearances across all competitions and powering Trabzonspor’s attack.
Currently the joint-top scorer in the Süper Lig with 16 goals, Onuachu’s consistency has made him central to Trabzonspor’s push to close the gap on leaders Galatasaray. Gaziantep, placed mid-table, will be eager to halt his momentum on home soil.
Editorial
Paul Onuachu’s fine goal-scoring sequence underlines just how important he has become for Trabzonspor’s title ambitions this season. In a league where momentum can swing quickly, having a veteran forward in clinical touch gives his side a competitive edge especially as they chase down the leaders with key fixtures looming.
For Nigerian supporters, Onuachu’s form reflects the sustained influence of Super Eagles players in Europe’s competitive leagues. His aerial prowess, physical presence and consistency make him a focal point of Trabzonspor’s attack and a player capable of turning tight matches in his team’s favour. As he eyes another goal against Gaziantep, fans will be watching to see if he can extend what’s already been an impressive run.
Gaziantep may struggle to contain a red-hot Onuachu, but football is often unpredictable. If they can disrupt his rhythm, they could spark a different type of contest one that keeps fans on their feet. Either way, this match will be a crucial test for both clubs’ objectives this season.
