Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has expressed his delight at feeling at home with Turkish giants Galatasaray, following his impressive brace in their 5-1 victory over Kayserispor on Saturday.
Osimhen, who opened the scoring from the penalty spot after four minutes and added his second goal in the second half, has now scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 15 appearances across all competitions.
The Napoli loanee praised the warm welcome he received from the Galatasaray team and fans, stating, “I think it was very important to come to this team and be a part of this big club. They made me feel at home. I adapted very easily with Baris, Yunus, Gabi, Dries. I learned their game quickly.”
Osimhen’s impressive form has helped transform Galatasaray into Europe’s only unbeaten team across domestic leagues, cup competitions, and European tournaments among the top eight ranked leagues.
The 25-year-old’s contributions have been crucial in establishing Galatasaray’s eight-point lead at the top of the Super Lig with 44 points from 16 matches, while they remain one of seven teams with an unblemished record in the Europa League.
Despite interest from several European giants, including Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, Osimhen has publicly declared his commitment to Galatasaray, stating, “I will not leave in January, I am at Galatasaray until the end of the season.”
Osimhen’s €75m release clause could prove a stumbling block for interested clubs, but the Nigeria international remains focused on helping Galatasaray achieve success this season.
