Trabzonspor forward Paul Onuachu and İstanbul Başakşehir’s Eldor Shomurodov have been crowned joint winners of the Turkish Süper Lig Golden Boot for the 2025/2026 season, each scoring 22 league goals. Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen finished with 15 goals, placing him outside the top three. Fenerbahçe’s Anderson Talisca followed closely with 19 goals, while Osimhen’s teammate Mauro Icardi scored 14. The Nigeria Football Federation congratulated Onuachu on X, praising his “force to reckon with” performance.
Key Points:
- Onuachu’s 22-goal campaign proves Nigerian strikers can excel outside Europe’s top five leagues.
- Osimhen’s 15-goal tally, while respectable, falls short of pre-season expectations after his big move.
- The Golden Boot race remained competitive throughout, but Onuachu pulled clear in the final stretch.
- Nigerian forwards continue to dominate scoring charts in Turkey, following in the footsteps of past legends.
- The joint award highlights the depth of attacking talent in the Süper Lig this season
