Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu could face increased competition for a starting spot at Trabzonspor if Tottenham forward Richarlison completes his proposed move to the Turkish club.

Richarlison has reportedly agreed personal terms with Trabzonspor and is keen on a move to Turkey, but the transfer has yet to be sanctioned.

Tottenham have rejected two offers from the Turkish side for the Brazilian, with Trabzonspor expected to return with an improved bid as they push to complete the deal before the Turkish transfer window closes.

The potential arrival of Richarlison would add another established striker to Trabzonspor’s attacking options, with Onuachu already an important part of the club’s forward line.

Trabzonspor vice-president Zeyyat Kafkas had previously indicated that the club were keen to preserve the core of their squad, with Onuachu among the players they wanted to retain, although a significant offer could alter that position.

Onuachu enjoyed an impressive 2025/26 campaign with Trabzonspor, helping the club win the Turkish Cup while establishing himself as one of their leading attacking outlets.

Richarlison, meanwhile, is seeking a move away from Tottenham and has reportedly made Trabzonspor his preferred destination.

For now, however, the proposed transfer remains incomplete, with Tottenham and Trabzonspor still needing to agree on a fee.

If Richarlison eventually arrives, Onuachu will have another high-profile forward competing for opportunities in Trabzonspor’s attack.
