Paul Onuachu has recently found his form at Southampton delivering impressive performances under the guidance of Ivan Juric, Soccernet.ng<\/a> reports.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The towering Nigerian striker has been a bright spark in an otherwise struggling Saints side, having contributed goals and assists despite their ongoing relegation battle.<\/p>\n

However, there has been a growing interest from several clubs, including Trabzonspor, who have placed a priority on luring him back to Turkey following his successful stint at the club in the 2023-24 season campaign.<\/p>\n

Onuachu\u2019s Resurgence at Southampton<\/h4>\n

It would be recalled that the Super Eagles attacker struggled to make an impact in England after his move from Genk\u2014where he was a prolific goal scorer.<\/p>\n

However, recent weeks have seen him regain confidence, finding the back of the net twice and providing an assist<\/a> in his last four appearances.<\/p>\n

These performances have earned him three starts under the former Torino FC manager, who has spotted him as a key player in his squad.<\/p>\n

Southampton\u2019s Uncertain Future<\/h4>\n

Despite Onuachu\u2019s return to form, relegation-threatened Southampton sits at the last bottom of the Premier League standings.<\/p>\n

If the Saints fail to secure top-flight status for next season, it could force the Nigeria international to reconsider his future.<\/p>\n

Playing in the Championship might not match with his ambitions, especially with clubs from top European leagues reportedly monitoring his situation.<\/p>\n

Should Onuachu Stay or Leave?<\/h4>\n

While Southampton\u2019s struggles might suggest an exit is the best option, Onuachu\u2019s recent form under Juric shows a potential to thrive if given more time.<\/p>\n

If the Saints retain their Premier League status and continue to build around him, staying could allow him to cement himself as a key player in England.<\/p>\n

However, if relegation becomes inevitable, a move would be the logical step to ensure he continues competing at the highest level.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
