The end of the Turkish first division for the 2025–2026 season is drawing near. A Nigerian striker appears set to win the Golden Boot Award for being the top scorer, just like he did last season.
Paul Onuachu of Trabzonspor is still at the top of the Super Lig Top Scorer’s Chart. In their 2-1 triumph over the league leaders, the Nigerian forward scored his 22nd league goal against Galatasaray. Four minutes into the game, Onuachu narrowed Trabzonspor’s deficit to only one point behind Galatasaray with a well-placed header, raising his goal total to 22. Shomurodov of Basaksehir, who was unable to score in Basaksehir’s tie with Kocealispor on Monday, is currently six goals behind him.
Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen has had a difficult season because of persistent injury problems. In 19 games for Galatasaray this season, the Nigerian striker has scored 12 goals. He is now 10 goals behind Onuachu in fifth place on the Scorer’s Chart. Osimhen won the Golden Boot the previous season, but he will undoubtedly struggle to overtake Paul Onuachu, especially with just seven Super Lig games left for Galatasaray. His pivotal goals have kept Galatasaray at the top of the league standings despite suffering with injuries early in the season.
Paul Onuachu, who is on the verge of winning his first Golden Boot Award in Turkey’s Super League while playing for Trabzonspor, now has the best chance among the top scorers.
