Paul Onuachu celebrates after scoring for Trabzonspor in the Turkish Super Lig
When it comes to consistency, confidence, and clinical finishing, Paul Onuachu is proving to be one of Africa’s finest exports in the European sports market. The towering Nigerian striker has just been named the Turkish Super Lig Player of the Month for October, following a string of brilliant performances for Trabzonspor.
In just three league appearances during the month, Onuachu netted two goals and provided one assist, helping his team remain unbeaten with two wins and a draw. His dominance in the box, composure in front of goal, and intelligent positioning earned him not just the award — but the hearts of fans across Turkey.
Onuachu didn’t have it easy. He faced tough competition from some of Europe’s well-known names — including Rafa Silva, Andre Onana, Milan Škriniar, Marco Asensio, Orkun Kökçü, Ederson Moraes, Wilfred Singo, and Davinson Sánchez.
Yet, when the fan votes rolled in, the verdict was clear — Onuachu stood tall, literally and figuratively.
This fan-driven victory shows just how much influence the Nigerian striker now holds in the Turkish sports market, where his popularity has skyrocketed thanks to his consistency and charisma.
This isn’t Onuachu’s first honor of the season. He’s already scooped up two Goal of the Month awards, proving that his scoring touch isn’t just frequent — it’s spectacular.
So far in the 2025/26 campaign, he has bagged seven goals and one assist in 11 league appearances, maintaining an impressive scoring rate that has made him one of Trabzonspor’s most reliable stars.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs on the horizon, Onuachu’s form is coming at the perfect time for Nigeria. His sharpness and confidence will be key as the Super Eagles prepare to face Gabon in the semi-final on Thursday, November 13, at the El Barid Stadium in Rabat, Morocco.
If he carries his club form into the national team, Nigeria could very well find themselves soaring closer to a World Cup ticket.
At Sports Market International, we celebrate athletes who redefine performance, passion, and presence in the global sports market — and Paul Onuachu is doing just that.
He’s not just scoring goals; he’s elevating the brand of Nigerian football on the international stage.
