Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen continued his goal-scoring form in the Turkish Super Lig, netting his fourth goal of the season in Galatasaray’s intense 2-1 victory over Besiktas in the Istanbul Derby. The 25-year-old, on loan from Napoli, scored with a well-placed header off Gabriel Sara’s cross in the 67th minute, extending Galatasaray’s lead. Besiktas managed to pull one back in stoppage time, but it wasn’t enough to deny Galatasaray the win.
Osimhen’s goal marked his third consecutive league game with a score, following his acrobatic overhead kick against Antalyaspor last weekend. The win consolidates Galatasaray’s position at the top of the Turkish Super Lig, with 28 points from 10 matches, six points clear of second-placed Samsunspor, while Besiktas sits fourth with 20 points.
Under Okan Buruk’s guidance, Galatasaray have displayed formidable form, going unbeaten in their last 10 matches across all competitions with eight wins and two draws, tallying 32 goals while conceding 12. Victor Osimhen has quickly proven his value, amassing three goals and four assists in just five appearances before his recent goal against Besiktas.
Osimhen’s impact has not gone unnoticed, with Chelsea reportedly tracking the Nigerian international for a potential transfer in 2025. Former Chelsea icons like John Mikel Obi and Didier Drogba have lauded Osimhen’s consistent performances, suggesting he would be a perfect fit for the Premier League club. His seamless integration into Galatasaray’s attack highlights the qualities that make him a sought-after talent in European football.
