Nigerian strikers Paul Onuachu and Victor Osimhen are making headlines in Europe after finishing among the top six scorers in the 2025–26 Turkish Süper Lig season.
Onuachu, who plays for Trabzonspor, currently leads the goal chart with an impressive 22 goals, underlining his prolific form and importance to his club’s attacking strength. The towering forward has been a consistent threat in front of goal throughout the campaign.
Osimhen, widely regarded as one of Africa’s most lethal strikers, also secured a place among the league’s top scorers, further cementing his reputation as a reliable goal machine. His performance adds to a growing list of achievements in European football.
Other notable players in the top scorers’ chart include Eldor Shomurodov of Istanbul Basaksehir and Anderson Talisca of Fenerbahçe, both of whom have delivered standout performances this season.
The strong showing by Onuachu and Osimhen highlights the growing influence of Nigerian players in European leagues, particularly in Turkey, where they continue to dominate the scoring charts and attract international attention.
