Onyekuru wins first trophy in Greece with Olympiakos

The Super Eagles star has won trophies in Belgium and Turkey, and he has added another feather to his cap

Super Eagles attacker Henry Onyekuru has won the Greek Super League title with Olympiakos after the Legends secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at PAOK.

Onyekuru joined Olympiakos last summer, but it has been a tumultuous year for the former Monaco forward. The 24-year-old has made just 14 league appearances for Olympiakos, and most of those have been as a substitute.

In fact, since Onyekuru arrived in Piraeus, he has recorded only one goal and one assist in 27 appearances.

However, Onyekuru has cause to smile, as he is now a Greek Champion. Olympiakos secured a record 47th Super League title after their 2-1 victory at PAOK. And although he was not dressed for the game, he would still bask in the fact he now has a Greek title in his cabinet.

Olympiakos have four games left this season, and Onyekuru could get a run-in in their remaining fixtures.

Nonetheless, the Nigeria International could still be on his way out of Piraeus this summer, as he has been linked with the top Turkish clubs.
