Cost 18 million in January
Trabzonspor is particularly active in the last days of the Turkish transfer window, which closes on September 15th: after the €4.4 million signing of Batista Mendy (23, Angers) and the free transfer signing of Nicolas Pépé (28, Arsenal). The 2022 champions are also strengthening themselves with Paul Onuachu (29) from Premier League relegated Southampton.
Videos on social media show the 2.01 meter tall center forward on his arrival in Turkey surrounded by fans with a Trabzonspor scarf. Onuachu moved from KRC Genk to the “Saints” for 18 million euros on Deadline Day of the 2023 winter transfer window, where he remained goalless in the second half of the season. According to reports, he is signing a loan contract in Trabzon until June 30, 2024.
