Onuachu trying to force an exit
According to reports, the Turkish side have been in negotiations with Southampton over the transfer of the Nigerian forward; however, the Championship side have been holding out for €15 million.
The lanky striker settled nicely in Turkey. He scored 14 goals in 20 games last season, and Trabzonspor are pulling all the stops to acquire him. However, they are unable to match Southampton's valuation.
The Nigerian striker is back at the English club. He joined pre-season training but has remained unused in all three friendly games—Eastleigh, Bordeaux, and Montpellier—Southampton have played so far.
According to a report from Sport Witness, Onuachu has made a move to apply pressure on the Saints. He is said to have sent in a transfer request, as he has his heart set on a return to Trabzonspor.
