Onuachu sets new scoring records
Paul Onuchu has set new scoring records at Turkish club Trabzonspor.
Onuachu, who scored a goal at the weekend against Fatih Karagumruk, achieved a first in his career by scoring in six consecutive games.
The tall striker missed the Beşiktaş, Gençlerbirliği, and Kocaelispor matches this season due to suspension and the Africa Cup of Nations.
The 31-year-old scored one goal each in the 2-1 win against Kasımpaşa in week 19 and the 1-1 draw against Antalyaspor in week 20, and two goals in the 3-0 victory against Samsunspor in week 21.
He scored once each in Trabzonspor’s 3-2 defeat to Fenerbahçe in week 22, and in the 2-1 wins against Gaziantep FK and Karagumruk, has netted seven goals in his last six matches.
Onuachu is currently leading to Super Lig goals race with 18 goals in 21 appearances. He also scored 1 goal in 2 matches in the Ziraat Turkey Cup.
Having scored 36 goals and provided 6 assists in 48 appearances for Trabzonspor so far, Onuachu aims to crown his Trabzonspor career with a top scorer title.
Trabzonspor coach Fatih Tekke scored in five consecutive matches when he was a player and now Onuachu has surpassed that.
His scoring streak also means he is now the first foreign player in the club’s history to score for as many weeks after Shota and Henrique only managed in only five straight weeks.

Galatasaray President has made it clear they do not plan to sell Victor Osimhen even if a club came up with the right price for the star striker.
Galatasaray President Dursun Ozbek told Fotomac that the Turkish champions hope to keep the Super Eagles striker for “many years” despite rife speculations he could make a major transfer this summer.
Fotomac: If a €150 million offer comes in for Victor Osimhen, would you be open to negotiations?
Galatasaray President: We didn’t buy Osimhen to sell him! He’s a player who adds great value to Galatasaray and loves Galatasaray very much. We want him to serve Galatasaray for many years to come. Osimhen is also very happy at Galatasaray.
Lucky Ezeh has said he hopes for success at new Czech club Zbrojovka Brno.
The 22-year-old forward has moved from Karvina, where he scored nine goals in 34 appearances last season.
“The move to Zbrojovka is a big step for my career,” Ezeh said.
“During my talks with the club’s representatives, I got the impression that a very interesting project is being created in Brno and that Zbrojovka is strengthening on all fronts.
“I am pleased to be part of a team full of great football players and to work under the leadership of excellent coaches. I believe that together we will achieve great success.”
Zbrojovka sports director Martin Jiranek said Ezeh will be a great addition.
“He is a striker with great potential who has experience from the first league,” he remarked.
“He is hardworking, honest in his approach to training and matches and has the potential for further performance growth. We expect him to increase the competition in the offensive.”
English Championship side Southampton have announced that Super Eagles midfielder Joe Aribo has been released at the expiry of his contract.
Aribo, 29, has endured four rather difficult years at ‘The Saints’ after he joined up from Scottish giants Rangers in 2022.
Last winter, he played on loan at Leicester City in search of more regular first-team football.
He can now join another club as a free agent.
