Victor Osimhen fuels transfer rumors after Galatasaray draw

Victor Osimhen scored twice to secure a 2-2 draw for Galatasaray against newly promoted Çorum FK in their Turkish Super Lig season opener. Despite his brace, the Nigerian striker described the result as a “wake-up call,” urging his teammates to improve their performance and fighting spirit ahead of the upcoming UEFA Champions League campaign.

Osimhen’s performance has intensified speculation regarding his future at Galatasaray. The striker, who is currently on loan from Napoli, has refused to rule out a summer transfer, stating, “There are always rumours during transfer seasons. I will focus on my job. I focus on my work. We’ll see and think about the future then.”

Several elite clubs are reportedly monitoring his situation, with Arsenal and various Premier League sides frequently linked to the striker. His estimated market value is approximately €70 million. The potential move is seen as a way for Arsenal to bolster their attacking depth alongside Viktor Gyokeres.
