Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu continued his impressive run of form, finding the back of the net in Trabzonspor’s 1–1 draw against Alanyaspor on Saturday in the Turkish Süper Lig.
The 31-year-old opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a composed finish inside the box after a clever attacking move, a goal that highlighted his sharpness, awareness, and top form in front of goal. It was his eighth strike of the season, further underlining his importance to Trabzonspor’s attack.

However, his consistent performances come at a time when his name is missing from the Super Eagles squad for the upcoming World Cup playoff qualifiers, a decision that has sparked quiet reflection among Nigerian football fans.
With Onuachu showing sharpness, confidence, and consistency in Turkey, some supporters are beginning to wonder whether his current form could have been a useful asset for Nigeria’s frontline as they prepare for crucial fixtures ahead.
While head coach Eric Chelle has his chosen options, Onuachu’s steady scoring record is a reminder of the depth and quality waiting in the wings and perhaps a question worth pondering: will the Super Eagles miss his presence?
