Victor Osimhen has become a force to reckon with in Turkish football, earning rave reviews from former Fenerbahçe winger Tümer Metin.
The Nigerian striker’s incredible qualities on and off the pitch have taken the Süper Lig by storm, leaving Metin with no choice but to reveal why his performances for Galatasaray have captivated him and millions of football lovers, Footballrover reports.
Osimhen’s impact since joining Galatasaray has been commendable after eight league appearances.
The 25-year-old has scored six goals and provided three assists, playing a key role in Okan Buruk’s side staying undefeated at the top of the league standings.
Incredible qualities that define Osimhen
With 35 points from 13 matches, Galatasaray holds a three-point lead over second-placed Fenerbahçe.
The Super Eagles talisman has also been impressive in Europa League competition.
His three goals and two assists have helped Galatasaray remain within touching distance of UEFA Europa League leaders S.C. Lazio, securing a crucial position for automatic qualification to the round of 16.
Metin, who knows what it takes to excel in the Turkish top flight, could not hide his admiration for Osimhen.
He described the forward as a player with unmatched hunger and drive—a rare combination that elevates him above his peers.
In a recent interview, Tümer Metin praised the Napoli loanee for his unparalleled enthusiasm, determination, and ability to unite his teammates.
“I liked Osimhen very much again. An incredible desire, an incredible enthusiasm, and an incredible search… I haven’t seen such hunger in a football player for a long time.
“He goes with a hunger that brings the same feeling to everyone. He supports him, pulls him to his side; it’s like he’s gathering all the players around him with a rope around his waist. It’s an incredible image.
“I have seen very few football players with such a strong feeling at every moment of the match, so concentrated between those three posts. In other words, you fall apart in between,” he said as quoted by haber sari kirmizi.
Galatasaray fans must have embraced Osimhen; retaining him beyond this season might be a challenge for the Istanbul giants.
With a reported market value of €75 million, Osimhen’s price tag far exceeds the club’s financial capacity.
