SAINTS forward Paul Onuachu has been nominated for FIFA's Puskas Award for a goal he scored on loan at Trabzonspor last season.
Onuachu's scorpion kick goal against Konyaspor is one of 11 goals up for the prestigious award, which has previously been won by Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Fellow English-based players Alejandro Garnacho, Mohammed Kudus and Jaden Philogene are also in contention for the award.
Onuachu is yet to score for Saints having joined the club during the winter transfer window of 2023.
His minutes were limited during his first season before the decision was made to loan him out last year.
The six-foot-seven-inch forward has since worked his way back into Russell Martin's plans after the club failed to secure his exit during the summer transfer window.
