Despite missing 11 weeks due to injuries and national team duty in the latter part of the season, striker Paul Onuachu finished the Turkish Super League as Trabzonspor’s top scorer. Scoring 15 goals, the Nigerian made a significant contribution to the team’s bronze medals and now hopes to stay at the club permanently.
However, the future of the Nigerian national team player remains uncertain: Southampton F.C. does not plan to keep the forward but wants to recover much of the amount once paid for him.
Family Support
According to Soccernet.NG Onuachu himself claims that he and his family are happy in Turkey. During this challenging time, with no clear understanding of where he will start the next season, his charming and supportive wife, Tracy Acheampong, stands by his side, ready to follow him wherever his career takes him.

Who is Tracy Acheampong?
The Nigerian striker met his future wife around 2016. At that time, Paul Onuachu was still playing for FC Midtjylland and met Tracy at Amsterdam Airport. By then, she had already been living in the Netherlands for several years, working as a nurse. According to her, she only gave her phone number to the charming admirer four months after their initial meeting. Tracy Acheampong discovered her boyfriend was a promising footballer only two years into their relationship, after Onuachu signed a contract with K.R.C. Genk.

Nevertheless, Tracy has been by the player’s side through various stages of his career. For instance, she was present when the striker was awarded the Golden Boot after a successful 2020/21 campaign in the Jupiler Pro League, where Paul Onuachu scored 29 goals in the Belgian championship.

Following his brilliant performances in Europe, the Nigerian national team striker proposed to his beloved in Paris in January 2022, later sharing a photo with the caption: “She said YES in the city of Love.” The wedding ceremony took place in Accra on May 28 of the same year, as Tracy is originally from Ghana. However, the couple later held another celebration in Lagos, Nigeria.
Respect for Privacy
Tracy Acheampong prefers to stay away from the media and headlines. Her private Instagram account has only 307 followers. Nevertheless, Onuachu enjoys sharing photos of his wife. He often posts pictures of them together, accompanied by simple heart emojis. When wishing his wife a happy birthday, the striker shares not only warm photos of their life together but also Tracy’s bright and stylish looks.

Even an unsuccessful move to England couldn’t break Paul Onuachu’s spirit. He revived his European career and returned to the national team, undoubtedly aided by the trust and full support of his loving wife.
