According to Sky Sports, Osimhen’s brace against Tottenham, his first for Galatasaray in Europe, took his total tally of goals in European competition to 12 goals across his 23 starts since his breakthrough.
The Nigerian superstar has become a fan favourite since moving to Turkey after falling out with Napoli and his total of six goals and four assists in all competitions proves he is enjoying his time in his new home.
Osimhen is feeling loved again and the forward continues to repay the trust Galatasaray fans have in him by netting important goals.

Oshimen’s goal ensured Galatasaray have won three of their opening four games in a major European campaign for the first time since 2009-10, also in the Europa League.
Osimhen sends message to injured partner
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Mauro Icardi’s season-ending injury was a dark spot in Galatasaray's victory over Tottenham Hotspur on matchday four of the UEFA Europa League, and Osimhen sent him a message.
Osimhen and Icardi have developed a great understanding since the Super Eagles forward joined the Turkish champions on a season-long loan from SSC Napoli.
There are initial concerns he might have torn his anterior cruciate ligament, an injury that has become rampant in football recently as agitations continue over the overloaded schedule.
