Victor Osimhen’s dazzling performances since joining Turkish champions Galatasaray have earned him the admiration of former Fenerbahce striker, Tanju Çolak, Soccernet.football reports.
The Super Eagles striker, currently on loan with the Trendyol Süper Lig leaders, has quickly become one of the standout players in the Turkish league.
Osimhen’s stats underline his influence: nine goals and three assists in the Süper Lig, making him the player with the second-highest goal contributions this season.
His brilliance extends to the UEFA Europa League, where he has scored three goals and provided two assists in just four games, failing to register a goal involvement in only one match.
Çolak, the only Turkish player to win the European Golden Shoe, described Osimhen’s transfer as a “masterstroke.”
Speaking to Haber Sarı Kırmızı, he said: “A correct and beautiful transfer. A number 10 transfer who came when no one expected. The most important thing is Osimhen’s adaptation to the team and Istanbul. He is a leader and top scorer who loves his job and works hard, even in training.
“He is very smart, his superiority in aerial balls, his dribbling, his shots, his ability to easily enter goal positions, his pressing, his ability to come and get the ball even in corners show that he is a very important and special player. He achieved good statistics.”
As rumours swirl about potential suitors for the Nigerian forward, Çolak confidently dismissed speculations of an early departure.
“Victor Osimhen will probably not leave during the break. Galatasaray will not let Osimhen go. I think Osimhen will continue with the same performance. His football friends also love and trust him very much.”
Galatasaray currently top the Süper Lig standings and have already secured a place in the Europa League knockout stages. With Osimhen leading the charge, the Istanbul giants are poised for success on multiple fronts this season.
