Victor Osimhen’s move to Galatasaray seems like a match made in heaven as the Nigerian forward has established himself as a fan’s favourite with his super performances.

Osimhen has since established himself as a bargain buy for the Yellow-Reds, scoring eight goals and creating four assists after nine appearances in all competitions for Galatasaray, per Transfer Markt.

The 25-year-old forward again made headlines over the weekend after netting a brace against Samsunspor to send the Yellow-Reds to the top of the table as they triumphed 3-2 on Saturday.

Galatasaray have made public their desire to keep the Nigerian forward at the club when his loan deal expires next summer but they are expected to face stiff competition for his signature from English Premier League giants Chelsea.
