Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen would love to see international teammates Ademola Lookman and Raphael Onyedika to join him at Galatasaray, Footynaija.com reports.

Galatasaray’s interest in the Super Eagles duo is not a secret, with the Turkish champions previously exploring conditions for potential moves during the 2025 summer transfer window.

Recent reports suggest Gala are still interested in acquiring the services of both Lookman and Onyedika this winter. Osimhen has now revealed that he recently played his part in trying to convince both players to bring their talents to the Turkish capital.

What Victor Osimhen said

“I spoke with Onyedika during the Africa Cup of Nations. I also spoke with Lookman during the matches we played for the World Cup,” Osimhen said in quotes revealed by FUTBOO.

“I told them about the Galatasaray fans, how big a club we are, and the beauty of the country. They are adults. They will make their own decisions. Their arrival would be good for our club, our players, and our fans. 

“Onyedika is a very good player. He plays very fluently. If he comes here, he will contribute a lot to us. He is a very talented player. I am trying to convince both of them. I would like them to come to one of the biggest clubs in the world and play with us.”

Lookman currently has a contract at Atalanta while Onyedika is on the books at Club Brugge. Atalanta are not expressly looking to part ways with Lookman this January but could be tempted to do business if a €50 million offer lands on the table. Otherwise, La Dea are content to hold on until the summer.

For Club Brugge, they would be willing to sanction a departure for Onyedika for the right offer. The Belgian outfit reportedly want  €25 million to cut ties with the 24-year-old Nigeria international this month.

Both players are fresh off impressive displays for Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.  Lookman registered seven goal contributions (3G, 4A) in seven games while Onyedika scored twice in two starts.
