Paul Onuachu has earned a spot among the contenders for the Turkish Süper Lig’s Goal of the Season accolade, as confirmed by sources. The Nigerian striker’s spectacular scissor-kick goal, netted during Trabzonspor’s emphatic 4-2 triumph over Fatih Karagümrük back in September, has caught the attention of the league’s selection panel.
This brilliant effort was previously honored as the Süper Lig’s Goal of the Month for September, setting the stage for its inclusion in the end-of-season awards. Onuachu faces stiff competition from Fenerbahçe’s Marco Asensio and Beşiktaş’s Orkun Kökçü, both of whom also delivered standout strikes during the campaign.
The ultimate winner of this prestigious award will be decided by fan votes, adding an extra layer of excitement for supporters. Onuachu’s nomination comes on the heels of an impressive season where he finished as joint-top scorer in the Turkish top flight, netting 22 goals alongside Eldor Shomurodov.
