Trabzonspor is pushing hard to sign Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu, despite Southampton’s firm demand for a €15 million transfer fee, according to Turkish media outlet 61 Saat. The club is working against the clock to finalize the deal before the Turkish transfer window closes.
Onuachu, who scored 17 goals in 25 matches last season, has become a top target for Trabzonspor.
The club has already secured deals for striker Simon Banza and defender Serdar Saatçı, but their main focus now is on bringing Onuachu to Turkey.

Despite this, Trabzonspor remains determined to get the deal done, with Onuachu reportedly keen to join the team.
