Victor Osimhen Wins First Turkish Super Lig Award
Goal of the Week Award Marks Stellar Start for Nigerian Striker
Victor Osimhen has quickly made his mark in the Turkish Super Lig, winning his first league award shortly after joining Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli. The Nigeria international earned the prestigious Goal of the Week award, presented by beIN SPORTS, for his stunning strike against Kasımpaşa. Osimhen’s goal received an overwhelming 77.96% of the total votes, reflecting the widespread admiration for his performance.
Magnificent Goal Against Kasımpaşa
Osimhen’s goal against Kasımpaşa was a display of quality and precision. The 25-year-old Nigerian forward volleyed home with his left foot after receiving a well-timed pass from former Napoli teammate Dries Mertens, extending Galatasaray’s lead to 2-0. The strike was Osimhen’s first for the Turkish champions and helped to establish his presence in the league.
Although Galatasaray squandered a three-goal lead, allowing the visitors to earn a 3-3 draw, Osimhen’s contributions stood out. His brace in the match took his tally for the season to two goals and four assists in four games for the Lions since joining on loan from Napoli.
Nevertheless, Osimhen is currently left out with an injury after a knock he picked up during the league game. He missed the Europa League clash against RFS in Latvia on Wednesday, but his injury is not severe, and he is expected to return soon.
The initial loan deal sees Osimhen at Galatasaray for four months. However, his impressive start has led to speculation of a potential extension.
Despite Osimhen’s loan move, reports suggest Chelsea remains interested in acquiring him.
Chelsea is reportedly prepared to offer €90 million for the Nigerian striker in the January transfer window.
