Trabzonspor talisman Paul Onuachu writes name in Super Lig history books with new award

Trabzonspor's Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu has won the Goal of the Season award for the 2025/26 Süper Lig season, Soccernet.ng reports.

Onuachu is coming off a brilliant campaign with his side in the Turkish Süper Lig. The 32-year-old marksman played some of his best football and scored goals aplenty for the Black Sea Storm.

He scored 22 goals and added two assists, meaning that he was involved in 39.3 percent of Trabzonspor's goals in the Süper Lig last season. His 22-goal haul also ensured that he won the Golden Boot.

For Onuachu last season, it wasn't just about the number of goals that he scored. It was the spectacular fashion in which those goals came.

Usually, many big strikers are known only for their strength and aerial ability. But Onuachu showed a different side to his game.

Just as he was banging in the goals from aerial situations, he was also devastating with the ball at his feet. Onuachu scored some beautiful goals, and one of them has been named the Süper Lig Goal of the Season for the campaign.
