Super Eagles attacker, Paul Onuachu is set to return to the Turkish Super Lig with
Trabzonspor, the club he shone brightly two seasons ago as a loanee from Southampton.
Both Southampton and Trabzonspor are reportedly locked in negotiations over the strikerโs transfer with the Saints insisting on an outright purchase as opposed to another loan deal.
Trabzonspor had a formal offer for the player rejected by the English club last summer as then Southampton manager Russel Martin convinced him to stay put.
Trabzonspor have tracked him since he posted a successful loan spell with them.
Onuachu himself has opted for Trabzonspor despite interests from England and Belgium, where he previously featured for Genk.
He is in the last year of his contract with Southampton, who were relegated from the Premier League this past season.
Trabzonspor fans are yet to forget about his season with them where he scored 17 goals from just 25 games in all competitions.
Elsewhere, Fenerbahce local rivals Besiktas have tabled an official offer for Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel.
Osayi-Samuelโs contract with Fenerbahce will run out later this month. Both player and club have failed to reach an agreement on a new deal.
Besiktas are unhappy with the right fullback positions and believe Osayi-Samuel could be the solution, according to Fotomac
The player is also believed to be in talks with at least two Premier League clubs, Fulham and Crystal Palace, and he could now join them as a free agent.
