Victor Osimhen is just two goal contributions away from rewriting the record books in Turkish football, Footynaija.com reports.
The Nigerian striker, currently on loan at Galatasaray from Napoli, has taken the Turkish game by storm this season. With 36 goals and seven assists in 40 appearances across all competitions — including the Trendyol Super Lig, UEFA Europa League, and Turkish Cup — Osimhen has already carved his name into the annals of Galatasaray’s storied history.
On 14 May, the 26-year-old delivered a standout performance in the Turkish Cup final, netting twice in a commanding 3–0 win over Trabzonspor. His brace not only secured Galatasaray the trophy, but also saw him break Mario Jardel’s long-standing record for the most goals in a single season by a foreign player in Türkiye. Jardel had set the record at 34 goals; Osimhen raised the bar to 35.
Four days later, he added another chapter to his fairytale debut campaign by opening the scoring in a 3–0 win over Kayserispor — a victory that sealed Galatasaray’s 25th Super Lig title.

Now, Osimhen stands on the verge of surpassing another legend.
Former Fenerbahçe icon Alex de Souza holds the record for most goal contributions in a single Turkish season with 44, as per NTV Spor. Osimhen is currently tied with him on that number.
One more goal or assist in the remaining two league fixtures — away at Göztepe and home to Başakşehir — will see Osimhen claim the record outright.
Already a record-breaking goalscorer and a double trophy winner, Osimhen could seal his immortality in Turkey over the coming days.
