Super Eagles forward Paul Onuachu has admitted that his height gives him an edge over opposing defenders but also claimed he is better with his feet.
The 28-year-old has found a new lease of life with Süper Lig side Trabzonspor with whom he is spending a season-long loan.
The Southampton loanee was on target for the Turkish outfit in their 3-2 win over Bright Osayi-Samuel's Fenerbahçe yesterday, finding the back of the net with an accurate header in the 10th minute.
The lanky striker, who is renowned for his heading prowess and winning aerial duels has admitted that his height gives him an advantage over his markers, and also highlighted his ball-playing ability.
The former Jupiler Pro League top scorer made this admission after his goal from another header yesterday.
Speaking to reporters after the game, Onuachu stated: "I am tall and you can also see that I use it sometimes my height but I also have a lot of qualities with my feet even better than my head.
"Being tall is one advantage and I have quality with my feet and you could see it with some of my actions. Being tall is an advantage but my feet is also working very well."
.
Onuachu has only failed to score in three appearances in the Süper Lig this term, recording 4 goals and one assist in 7 games.
The Nigeria international has some catching to do if he is to win the top scorer award as he is 6 goals behind leading marksman Edin Džeko.
