Al-Ahli target Onuachu after striker’s prolific run

Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli are preparing a move for Nigeria international Paul Onuachu after the Trabzonspor striker’s impressive scoring run in the Turkish Super Lig this season, according to Soccernet. The Saudi club want to strengthen their attack and see the Super Eagles forward as a key target ahead of the summer transfer window.

Onuachu, 31, has been in outstanding form for Trabzonspor, scoring 17 goals in just 20 league appearances, making him one of the most productive forwards in Turkey this season.

Sources close to the negotiations say Al-Ahli are ready to tempt the Nigerian with a lucrative contract that could significantly increase his current salary. “Onuachu is one of the names we are monitoring closely,” a club insider told Soccernet. “His profile fits what we want in attack.”

Trabzonspor, however, are reluctant to lose their top scorer midway through a strong campaign. “Paul is very important for us,” a club source said. “Naturally, we want him to continue leading the line.”

The Saudi side are reportedly looking for a new striker amid uncertainty surrounding their current attacking options, and Onuachu’s aerial ability and consistent scoring record have made him a prime candidate for the role.
