Victor Osimhen has received his first Turkish Supe Lig award shortly after commencing a season-long loan with Galatasaray from Napoli.
The Nigeria international secured the Goal of the Week title by beIN SPORTS for his remarkable goal against Kasımpaşa, garnering 77.96% of the total votes. Despite his outstanding performance, Galatasaray, the Turkish champions, conceded a three-goal lead, resulting in a draw.
Osimhen, 25, exhibited his skill by volleying in a goal with his left foot, contributing to Galatasaray's 2-0 lead. Despite missing pre-season due to transfer issues, Osimhen has become a pivotal player for Galatasaray, being involved in scoring or assisting in all four of his appearances for the club.
Having tallied two goals and four assists in four games for Galatasaray, Osimhen's early success has sparked discussions about a possible contract extension beyond his initial four-month loan deal. However, he is currently sidelined due to an injury sustained during a league game, but is expected to return soon.
Osimhen credited Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk for his decision to join the club, expressing his admiration for Buruk's role in the transfer process. Despite his loan status, there are reports of Chelsea's continued interest in acquiring Osimhen, with a rumored €90 million offer in the January transfer window.
