Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen of Galatasaray has been the team’s catalyst for their dramatic ascension to the top of the Turkish Süper Lig. Osimhen has been in scintillating form and consistent since he arrived at the club on loan from Napoli at the start of the 2024–25 season, netting 19 goals and registering 5 assists in 24 games across all competitions. This phenomenal record is a reflection of his huge contribution to Galatasaray’s attacking potency.

In the 2-1 away victory against Çaykur Rizespor on February 17, Osimhen was in awe-inspiring form. He netted both goals for Galatasaray, with the first being in the 47th and the decisive second goal in the 86th minute to gift his team the crucial three points. The double not only reaffirmed Galatasaray’s leadership at the top of the league, but they also took their advantage over their arch-rivals Fenerbahçe to six points.

Osimhen’s journey to Galatasaray has been that of determination and tenacity. After a prolific stint at Napoli, where he broke the record as the highest-scoring African player in the history of Serie A, his move to Turkey has been universally welcomed. His high-intensity game, replete with pace, strength, and merciless goal-scoring, has captured the imagination of Galatasaray fans and made defenders shudder with fear.

In addition to his goal-scoring achievements, Osimhen’s influence also extends to his teammates. The captain, Fernando Muslera, following his defeat of Rizespor, wore Osimhen’s recognizable mask as a celebratory action, a sign of the camaraderie and oneness in the team. This is evidence of the significant impact that Osimhen has had on the team’s morale and oneness.

As time progresses, Galatasaray’s ambitions are set firmly on winning the Süper Lig and performing well in the European competitions. With Osimhen as the lead player, the club is set on a solid foundation to achieve those objectives. His tireless commitment and exquisite performances not only lifted the ambitions of the club but also made the fans even more spirited again.

In the coming weeks, Galatasaray also have a very important derby against Fenerbahçe. The outcome of this match could be determinative in the championship race. Fans and commentators alike will be eagerly waiting to see if Osimhen can continue his amazing form and help his team emerge victorious in this tight match.
