Trabzonspor are planning a Super Eagles strike force of Paul Onuachu and Anthony Nwakaeme for next season as they aim to win the Turkish Super Lig crown again.
They last won the league in the 2021/2022 season.
This comes after the Turkish Super Lig club signed the Nigerian striker, a free agent, for the second time in his career.
Trabzonspor will feature in next season’s UEFA Europa League after they placed third in the Turkish top league.
The seven-time Turkish champions have already convinced Nwakaeme to return to the club he made his name and they hope they could also get Onuachu to at least extend his loan spell by another season.
Last season, giant centre-forward Onuachu netted 15 goals for Trabzonspor on loan from English club Southampton.
Cult hero Nwakaeme said he is happy to return from Saudi Arabia because of the great plans the club have for the coming campaign.
He also saluted the fans of the club, thanking them for their undying support and describing them as “family.”
During his first spell at the club, Nwakaeme helped the club win the 2021/22 Turkish league title. He left the club for Saudi Arabia club, Al Fayhaz, on a free transfer in 2022.
There’s the possibility of Nwakaeme teaming up in attack with countryman Onuachu, who sources say is not keen to return to parent club Southampton after the completion of his loan deal with Tranzonspor.
