Victor Osimhen Rated Best Striker in Turkey Now

Former Besiktas midfielder Sergen Yalçın has showered praise on Victor Osimhen, the Galatasaray striker, declaring him the best centre forward in Turkey. Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli just two months ago, has quickly made a significant impact at the RAMS Park, endearing himself to fans who are now urging the club to secure his services on a permanent basis.

Yalçın emphasized the gap in quality between Osimhen and other strikers in the Turkish Super Lig, particularly highlighting Moroccan forward Youssef En-Nesyri and Italian striker Ciro Immobile as inferior by comparison. “Galatasaray has Osimhen; he is undoubtedly the best centre forward in Turkey,” he stated during an appearance on Ekol TV.

He further elaborated on Osimhen’s contributions to the team, noting his aggressiveness and ability to win duels, traits that set him apart from other forwards. “Other clubs don’t have the quality in attack. The centre forwards are very weak,” Yalçın remarked, contrasting Osimhen’s dynamic play with the more traditional goal-scoring style of players like Immobile. “You give 18 million to En-Nesyri, but can you really say he will score many goals and save the team? With Osimhen, you can.”

Osimhen’s four goals this season have propelled Galatasaray to the top of the Turkish Super Lig, five points clear of fierce rivals Fenerbahce, who sit in second place. As Osimhen continues to shine on the pitch, his future at Galatasaray remains a hot topic, with fans and pundits alike eager to see if he will remain in Turkey beyond his loan period.
