Super Eagles midfielder, Frank Onyeka, yesterday evening scored his first-ever English Premier League goal for Brentford.

The Nigerian international came off the bench to score in stoppage time for his London club to win 2-0 at home against bottom club Sheffield United.

The goal was Onyeka’s first in the English topflight league since his arrival from Denmark three seasons ago.

Elsewhere, Paul Onuachu admitted that he was ready to give up a chance to play in the Premier League in England next season to stay put at Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor.

“I am very happy in Trabzon. Me and my family want to stay here,” the 29-year-old Onuachu told Fotomac last week

It was a dream come true when the giant striker transferred to the Premier League in January 2023, but it all turned a nightmare after 

That prompted a loan switch to Turkey, where he has now fired nine goals and made three assists in 17 league appearances.

Southampton are very much on track for a return to the Premier League as they are within the promotion playoffs bracket with four rounds of matches to the end of the regular season.

In the meantime, Trabzonspor president Ertugul Dogan has said the club want to get the Super Eagles striker back on loan with an option to buy permanently thereafter.
