Transfer: Trabzonspor chief issues ultimatum on Onuachu deal

Ertugul Dogan, President of Trabzonspor, has disclosed that if they are unable to reach a deal with Southampton for Paul Onuachu, the club may have to go elsewhere.

Onuachu impressed while on loan with the Black Sea Storm previous season.

The Nigerian international scored 17 goals in all competitions.

Trabzonspor are interested in signing him on a permanent basis, but have been unable to match Southampton's valuation.

According to rumors, the Saints are looking to trade the Nigeria international for at least €9 million.

Dogan remarked that they are ready to implement their backup plan as quickly as possible.

"His family had a strong attachment to the city. He stated that he wished to stay. The club's membership gradually declined. "Hopefully, we can finish this work next week," Dogan told Sports Witness UK.

"If the process does not go well, there is a backup plan in place. He wasn't on the agenda, but he's a valuable centre forward. We could have both. He is also well-known over the world."
