June 08, (THEWILL) – Nigeria striker, Paul Onuachu, is the subject of intense speculation as he is reportedly set to depart Southampton during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Transfer reports have revealed that Onuachu has caught the attention of several clubs, including German Bundesliga side, Union Berlin; Turkish Super Lig champions, Galatasaray, and Saudi Arabian outfit, Al Taawoun.
This has led to the belief that the Super Eagles star will not be going down to the Championship with the Saints but seek a new challenge before the transfer window slams shut.
Union Berlin, in particular, struggled with their scoring throughout the Bundesliga season, while Galatasaray is in need of a replacement for Mauro Icardi, who has returned to PSG. Also, Al Taawoun is keen on bolstering their attacking options ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Onuachu, who joined Southampton during the January transfer window, endured a difficult spell with the club, struggling for both form and playing time as the Saints suffered relegation from the English Premier League.
The 29-year-old forward made appearances in 11 Premier League matches but failed to find the back of the net, a stark contrast to his impressive performances at Racing Genk, where he scored 16 goals in 19 games in the first half of the Jupiler Pro League season.
However, the final decision on Onuachu’s future rests with Southampton, who are yet to appoint a new coach capable of determining the Nigerian striker’s fate.
