Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu is back in England training with Premier League club Southampton even though he is not sure where he will play in the new season.
Onuachu shone on loan at Trabzonspor last season and the top Turkish team have been pushing to sign him on a permanent deal.
Southampton manager Rusell Martin confirmed Onuachu’s return and will not rule out the striker staying put in England.
“Paul is back now with us after a bit of an extended break,” Martin disclosed.
“He had a brilliant season in Turkey, at a club that has a lot of affection for him now. So, we’ll have to wait and see.
“They all have a chance while they’re back here. They all have a chance. As the pre-season pans out, then they assess their situation in terms of what it looks like.
“Whether they’re going to be playing, if they’re going to be involved or not, then it will be a discussion between us and then we’ll wait and see.”
Martin added: “But everyone who’s back here, genuinely, you have to have a chance. We haven’t got the biggest squad at the moment either.
“We have a lot of young guys involved at the moment, so they have a chance to stake their claim.”
Onuachu could join Saints for their trip tomorrow to Spain, where they will undergo a week-long training camp with two friendly fixtures.
Saints will face French sides Bordeaux and Montpellier before returning to conclude their pre-season schedule on English soil in August.
