Victor Osimhen Turns 27 Today: Fans, Galatasaray Celebrate
Today, December 29, 2025, football fans are celebrating the birthday of Victor Osimhen, who is currently enjoying one of the most productive seasons of his career with Galatasaray.
The Nigerian striker, born in Lagos in 1998, joined the Turkish giants permanently from Napoli in July 2025 and made an immediate impact. In his first full season at the club, Osimhen helped Galatasaray win the Süper Lig title and the Turkish Cup, finishing the season with 37 goals and eight assists across all competitions.
On the international stage, he has remained just as important. Nigeria currently sits top of Group C at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, with Osimhen leading the attack for the Super Eagles.
Galatasaray marked the striker’s birthday with a message shared on social media. The post, originally written in Turkish, read:
“Today is our footballer Victor Osimhen’s birthday.
Happy birthday, Victor Osimhen.”
While some people debated his move to Turkey, Osimhen’s performances and growing bond with Galatasaray supporters continue to speak for themselves. At 27, he is firmly in his prime and playing a key role for both club and country.
