While Osimhen’s impressive performances speak for themselves, the real story lies in the hidden dynamics that fuelled his swift adaptation.
What exactly helped him settle in so fast? You won’t believe the factors he credits for his smooth journey.
Osimhen’s impact on the field
Since his loan move to Galatasaray, Osimhen’s performances on the field have been super impressive.
Over the weekend, he continued his dominant form in the Turkish Super Lig, contributing two goals in a 5-1 away win against Kayserispor.
His brace took his Super Lig tally to nine goals and three assists.
After a slight injury setback, Osimhen was restored to the starting lineup by Coach Orkan Buruk.
His presence was felt early in the match, as he converted a penalty within the first four minutes.
Though Kayserispor equalised briefly, Osimhen’s second goal in the 71st minute, following a counterattack led by Yunus Akgün, sealed the victory for Galatasaray.
In an interview with the club website, Osimhen revealed the key to his success at Galatasaray, and it’s not just about his own skills.
