A Record-Breaking Campaign
Osimhen's debut season in Turkey has been nothing short of phenomenal. With 36 league goals, he set the record for the most goals ever scored by a foreign player in a single Super Lig campaign, surpassing even the wildest expectations. His consistency in front of goal was unmatched, netting against both title contenders and lower-table sides with the same ruthless efficiency.
He wasn't just scoring goals; he was scoring important ones. Late winners, equalizers, and match-sealers—Osimhen delivered in the biggest moments, propelling Galatasaray to their 25th league title in style.
The Turkish Double
Osimhen's heroics extended beyond league action. He played a crucial role in Galatasaray’s Turkish Cup triumph, completing a domestic double that cemented the club's dominance. His presence up front allowed the team to play with freedom, knowing that any chance created could easily find its way into the back of the net.
His physicality, pace, and clinical finishing left defenders scrambling, and his off-the-ball movement opened spaces for his teammates to exploit. It was clear from the onset—Osimhen was not just another signing; he was a game-changer.
A True Fan Favourite
Galatasaray fans quickly embraced the Nigerian striker, celebrating his goals with chants of "Osimhen! Osimhen!" ringing through the Nef Stadium. His humility off the pitch and warrior spirit on it earned him the admiration of supporters and respect from rivals. In a league known for its passionate fans and intense atmospheres, Osimhen thrived, feeding off the energy and delivering match after match.
The Future Looks Bright
At just 26, Osimhen is entering the prime of his career. His record-breaking season in Turkey is proof that he is among Europe's elite forwards. If his first season in Turkey is any indication, the Nigerian Eagle is only just getting started.
