Onuachu could make Southampton return

As things stand, there are just over two years remaining on Paul Onuachu's contract at St Mary's, securing his future with Southampton until the end of the 2025/26 season.

Having finished fourth in the regular Championship season, the Saints are now set to compete for promotion via the play-offs.

The team begins that campaign with a trip to The Hawthorns to face West Brom on Sunday afternoon in the first leg of their semifinal.

If the team is victorious against the Baggies, it will meet the winners of the other semifinal between Leeds United and Norwich City in the final towards the end of the month.

There is an argument that the Saints would be taking something of a risk by keeping Onuachu for next season if it's promoted to the Premier League.

With Che Adams out of contract and seemingly set to leave in the summer, there is a good chance that Southampton will need to add a new striker to the squad before next season.

Meanwhile, Onauchu's record in Turkey is certainly impressive, which could potentially make him an appealing option to fill that role without having to pay a transfer fee.

However, it should be remember that the striker also had a good record in Belgium prior to his first move to Southampton.

That though, was unable to prevent from struggling to settle at St Mary's and make an impact on the pitch.
