Paul Onuachu has been nominated for the Turkish Süper Lig Goal of the Season award, reports Completesports.com.
The Nigerian striker was shortlisted for his spectacular scissor-kick finish in Trabzonspor’s 4-2 victory over Fatih Karagümrük last September.
The spectacular strike was previously named the Turkish Süper Lig’s Goal of the Month for September.
Despite his towering frame, Onuachu displayed remarkable agility, meeting the ball cleanly in mid-air to produce an acrobatic finish that earned widespread acclaim in Turkey.
The 32-year-old also previously won the August Goal of the Month award for his superb header in Trabzonspor’s clash with Samsunspor.
Onuachu Key To Trabzonspor Success
Onuachu, who joined Trabzonspor from Sky Bet Championship outfit Southampton last summer, enjoyed a remarkable campaign with the Black Sea Storm.

The striker finished as the joint top scorer in the 2025/26 Turkish Süper Lig season with 22 goals, sharing the Golden Boot with Eldor Shomurodov of İstanbul Başakşehir.
In doing so, Onuachu became only the sixth player in Trabzonspor’s history to finish a season as the Turkish Süper Lig’s top scorer, further cementing his place in the club’s record books.
Across all competitions, the former KRC Genk striker scored 26 goals and provided two assists in 43 appearances for the Claret and Blue.
His outstanding performances played a key role in Trabzonspor’s successful campaign, further cementing his status as one of the most prolific forwards in Turkish football.
Perfect End To The Season
Trabzonspor ended the campaign on a high, lifting the Turkish Cup for a record 10th time after defeating Konyaspor 2-1 in the final.
Onuachu played a crucial role in the hard-fought victory, scoring both goals in the keenly contested encounter.
His compatriots, defender Chibuike Nwaiwu, and experienced striker Anthony Nwakaeme were also part of Trabzonspor’s winning squad.

Didnt osimhen score any spectacular goal in turkey??
Ok as usual most of his goals are kindergateen goals….either from very close range open net tap ins or ball is going very wide and it deflected off somebody and into the net….
Hahahahaha
Monkiyash –
Have you ever heard of the term “Fox in the Box?” I very much doubt it, in fact I’m sure that you must not have or have done but the meaning has gone right over your empty brain not to mention your “Red yash” lol – To educate your demented self, A “Fox in the Box” is quite a rare and highly sought after kind of striker, hence they belong (historically) to date, the most valuable strikers on planet earth, both past, present and will very much remain so into the foreseeable future. Now as additional learning for your retarded self (and of course at no extra cost), Rare as this type of striker is, it is even MORE RARE to find such a “Fox in the Box” striker, who then additionally has the phenomenal work rate of Victor Osimhen, so anyone with even half a brain can put 2 and 2 together to quickly realise how much of a rare and extremely high quality striker VO9 is in the world today.
Examples of “Fox in the Box” strikers that we have been blessed to see in football to date (now I challenge you or the demons that are possessing you) to deny the quality of any of these world renowned strikers (but I am sure that it is more likely that you won’t have heard of most of them, because that is how low level your football knowledge and intelligence level is).
The likes of: the Great Paolo Rossi (RIP), Christian Vieri, Salvatore “Totò” Schillaci, Gary Lineker, Filippo Inzaghi, Gerd Müller (Der Bomber), Ruud van Nistelrooy, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, The late Great Rashidi Yekini, Yakubu Aiyedgeni (Feed the Yak) and the list goes on and on till the break of dawn lmaoo
So for you to use that diamond and most valuable and sought after characteristic, to try and use in your demented rant to try and use to insult Osimhen is very very reatrded indeed lool!
And “I quote you verbatim” –
“”Ok as usual most of his goals are kindergateen goals….either from very close range open net tap ins or ball is going very wide and it deflected off somebody and into the net….”” –
What you just described there, is one of the foremost and most valuable and sought after skills of these highly desired “Fox in the Box” strikers lmaooo, so for you to try and use such a high quality attribute as a way to try and belittle a striker says a lot about you and who you are in terms of football knowledge and puts the final “nail in the coffin” for you, as proof that not only are 18 yr olds much wiser than you, not just in football but in life in general, but also that you have absolutely no business commenting on football or matters concerning football. Period!
For clarity mr monki mouth –
A “Fox in the Box” (or goal poacher) is a striker defined by elite anticipation, clinical finishing, and intelligent movement within the 18-yard box – now choke on that lmaooo!
Hahahahahaaaaaa, na road u don dey laff dey enter with style dey go but forumites go tink say na cruise u dey catch.
If you like, continue making fooolery of yourself for all to see…na u sabi sha.
You and who or which forumite is doing cruise??
Oga u better go and find somewhere and sitdan
I am not sitting down not until you stop disrespecting one-time CAF PLAYER OF THE YEAR.
If you think you have this monopoly of anyhow talk in this space to always spew robbish rather than analyse football sensibly to everyone, never will I give you an inch.
It’s high time for you Mr. Monkey to cover your smellly assshole.
Monki face, to talk sey dem don used osimnhen mata take swear for yuh ehn, nah de undarstatments of de decade, not just de yaer lool.
