This Sunday, during the duel against Samsunspor (3-2)the superstar of the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Galatasaray, Victor Osimhenonce again shone brightly by signing a magnificent double. The child of Lagos thus established a record which had not been reached for almost ten years at the Turkish club.
Indeed, loaned last summer by Naples at the last minute after disagreements with his leaders, the reigning African Ballon d’Or quickly asserted himself as a major asset of the teamBad Okan. Despite a short absence due to injury at the start of the season, his speed of adaptation and his efficiency in front of goal have already won over fans.
Victor Osimhen, something never seen before in the history of the club!
Since his arrival, Victor Osimhen marked eight goals and offered four assists in just nine matches in the “Cimbom” jersey, thus totaling twelve offensive contributions. These impressive statistics made him the team’s top scorer and allowed him to set a new record for the club.
Osimhen thus exceeds the historic performance achieved by the Franco-Senegalese striker Shirt Brides during the season 2014/2015 (11 goals/assists)! His last double against Samsunspor notably allowed Galatasaray to achieve an essential victory and consolidate their first place in the rankings.
This remarkable series suggests a season full of success for the 25-year-old Nigerian prodigy, who could well continue to write the history of Galatasaray.
