Victor Osimhen shines for Galatasaray as Nigeria star urged to pursue Champions League move

Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen has enjoyed a prolific spell with Turkish champions Galatasaray, scoring a brace in a 4‑2 victory over Antalyaspor that secured the club’s fourth consecutive league title. He has recorded 59 goals in 74 matches for Galatasaray and currently sits on 15 goals and five assists in 22 league games this season, describing his time in Istanbul as “one of the best periods of his career.”

Former Super Eagles forward Obinna Nsofor told local radio that Osimhen should aim for a summer transfer to a club that regularly competes for the UEFA Champions League, citing interest from Arsenal, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Barcelona. Nsofor said a move to a genuine European heavyweight is the final step for Osimhen to join the world’s elite strikers, while noting that Galatasaray, though a big club, is not a favorite to win the Champions League.
