Southampton's £18m flop striker Paul Onuachu is set for medical in Turkey ahead of loan move to Trabzonspor after failing to score in 12 games since January arrival

Southampton striker Paul Onuachu has arrived in Turkey and will have a medical on Sunday ahead of a proposed loan move to Trabzonspor.

Onuachu joined Southampton in January following an £18million move from Genk but was unable to prevent their relegation from the Premier League and his only appearance this season came in the EFL Cup at Gillingham.

With Saints signing striker Ross Stewart from Sunderland and keeping Che Adams, manager Russell Martin is happy to let 29-year-old Onuachu leave.

The Nigerian bagged nearly a goal-a-game at Belgian side Genk, and appeared in the Champions League and Europa League, but is leaving Saints without scoring or registering an assist.
