Ismael Garcia, the assistant head coach of Turkish giants Galatasaray, has showered encomiums on Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen.
Osimhen, 25, joined Cim Bom on a season-long loan from Napoli in early September. Despite not being his ideal transfer destination, the Super Eagles star has conducted himself well since arriving at the club.
The reigning African Footballer of the Year has hit the ground running, registering four goals and two assists in five appearances in the Super Lig.
Garcia has extolled the former Lille striker for his efforts to quickly adapt to the club within a short spell.
“He has been smart, humble, coming to our club,” Garcia told BBC.
“The main part of the squad has been together for two years, winning back-to-back championships. But he came in a smart way, trying to be a part of it, not as a typical star. He was not expecting the club to adapt to him, but he has been very humble and hard-working.”
Osimhen is expected to be in action when Galatasaray take on Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League on Thursday, November 6.
