Many opposition supporters and stakeholders are shaken by Victor Osimhen’s spectacular start to life in the Turkish league.
After a drawn-out and stressful transfer drama with Napoli, the Nigerian forward joined Galatasaray and has already established himself with the Yellow and Reds.
Osimhen has extended his scoring streak for the Istanbul team and has shown no signs of slowing down after waiting a few games to score his maiden goal for the team.
The 25-year-old showcased his class again with a superb goal in the recent league clash against Besiktas.
Following his standout performance in the derby, a former Turkish striker has even called for the prolific forward’s ban.
A Turkish striker demands that Osimhen be banned.
Forward Batuhan Karadeniz demanded a ban on the Nigerian striker after Galatasaray’s recent victory over Besiktas, saying the squad is now practically unstoppable because of his arrival.
In comments relayed by SuperHaber, Karadeniz remarked,
“Since the day he arrived, I have never seen a player like Osimhen. He plays with such intensity—chasing down defenders, darting left and right, with unrelenting energy. Well done to him!”
He continued, “Many world-class players come to leagues like ours, and watching them alone can be exhausting. But Osimhen is truly worth every penny they pay him. He’s everywhere—whether it’s his own penalty box or pressing in the opponent’s. He kicks the ball in every possible position. This isn’t fair; he’s making it an unfair competition! Ban him from the Super League!”
Karadeniz further emphasised,
“What kind of player is this? I’ve never seen anything like it. Whoever brought him here, send him back! Osimhen has become a scourge for the Super League!”
Given that Galatasaray hasn’t lost since Osimhen arrived and presently leads the league table by five points, according to data provided by Fotmob, Karadeniz’s annoyance is understandable.
With three goals in his last three games and two assists in his first two, the Napoli loanee has personally contributed to a goal in each of his Süper Lig appearances.
