‘Too good’ – Galatasaray revel in Victor Osimhen dream
Galatasaray fans are in a state of disbelief as Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen continues to dazzle in Turkey. The 25-year-old, on loan from SSC Napoli, has quickly become an integral part of the team’s success, making headlines with his stunning performances.
In just eight appearances across all competitions, Osimhen has already scored six goals and provided three assists. His recent standout display came in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Europa League, where he netted two goals, including a breathtaking effort that showcased his exceptional skills.
Following the match, Galatasaray took to social media to express their astonishment, humorously stating, “Too good to be true,” in homage to their new star. Osimhen’s journey to Galatasaray has not been without challenges.
After a difficult summer at Napoli that saw him face rejection and limited playing time, his move to Turkey has rejuvenated his career. Now a fan favorite, supporters are relishing every moment of his play, often pinching themselves to verify they’re witnessing such talent in their squad.
Looking ahead, Osimhen is expected to lead the attack this weekend in a vital top-of-the-table clash in the Turkish Super Lig, especially after the injury to his striking partner, Mauro Icardi.
His impact on the team goes beyond just scoring; he embodies the spirit and ambition of Galatasaray, solidifying his place as a key figure. Despite speculation linking him to major clubs like Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain, Osimhen has shown commitment to staying with Galatasaray this season, underscoring his happiness and dedication.
