Southampton striker Paul Onuachu struggled to make an impact in his first few months at the club and was sent out on loan in the summer, and journalist Dean Jones has now explained to GIVEMESPORT that he could be given another opportunity at St Mary’s Stadium in the future.
Onuachu moved to the Premier League to join the Saints in January 2023 for a fee of £18m from Belgian side Genk, as per Sky Sports. The towering forward failed to live up to his price tag in England’s top flight and was unable to help the club avoid relegation to the Championship.
After a lack of minutes with the Saints, Onuachu was sent out on loan during the summer transfer window, and he’s started to find his goalscoring form once again. Although the 29-year-old struggled to make an impact when given the opportunity in a Southampton shirt, there’s certainly an argument that he wasn’t given enough chances to impress.
Southampton might regret letting Onuachu leave
Although Russell Martin has Adam Armstrong, Che Adams, and Ross Stewart to choose from in terms of centre-forward options this season, Onuachu could have offered the Saints something a little different in attack. The Lagos-born striker stands at over two metres tall and would undoubtedly be one of the biggest players in the Championship if he remained with the club.
