Paul Onuachu: Fenerbahce chief reveals truth over Southampton striker's links with Turkish giants
Published: July 06, 2024Fenerbahçe have denied reports linking them with a move for Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu who impressed on loan with Trabzonspor last term.
According to 61 Saat, who spoke to the club's Vice President Acun Ilıcal, the Turkish giants are said to be uninterested in pursuing a move for the Southampton forward, contrary to widespread reports.
Fenerbahçe are keen on bolstering their squad after missing out on the Super Lig to Galatasaray in the last campaign and that might explain their interest in Onuachu who starred in the Turkish top-flight last term.
The Jose Mourinho led side just secured the services of Çağlar Söyüncü and are also trying to extend the contract of Super Eagles right back Bright Osayi-Samuel who is being linked with a return to England.
Onuachu found the back of the net 15 times and notched four assists to propel Trabzonspor to a third place finish and it is no surprise that the Black Sea Storm are trying to retain his services.
Southampton are playing hardball on the valuation of the Nigeria international, thereby making it difficult for Trabzonspor to secure the signing of the lanky forward.
Newly promoted side Goztepe have also been linked with a move for the 2021 Belgian Golden Shoe winner.
