Galatasaray star striker Victor Osimhen allegedly attacked a journalist, according to Turkish media Post. Leaving a nightclub this Wednesday evening in Istanbul, he allegedly physically and verbally attacked journalists who wanted to film him.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, loaned by Naples to Galatasaray at the start of the season, is causing a reaction in Türkiye. He is on the front pages of the newspapers, but this time, not for footballing exploits. This Wednesday evening, when leaving a nightclub in Istanbul with friends, the former Lille player clearly did not appreciate the untimely presence of cameras and journalists. He then allegedly attacked a journalist physically and verbally.
Turkish journalist Tolga Bozduman described the scene: “Osimhen was filmed at the exit with three of my colleagues. When the flashes went off, he went wild. He ran towards me screaming. He tried to take my camera, but I didn’t let him. He punched me again. Then he started swearing and said, ‘Destroy them. images, I will give you money’. I refused and he threatened me: ‘I will destroy you’.
-Osimhen has not yet reacted
This is not the first time that the former Lille star has found himself in a delicate situation. Last year, he publicly clashed on social media with former Nigeria coach Austin Eguavoen, accusing him of making false allegations. The dispute caused controversy in Nigeria. Victor Osimhen and his Galatasaray club have not yet reacted to these allegations.
