The Nigerian striker, who joined the Istanbul club late in the summer transfer window, has quickly adapted to the demands of Turkish football.
Having recently played a pivotal role in helping Galatasaray set a record-breaking start to the season, Osimhen added another goal to his tally, bringing his total to 12 goal involvements in 11 appearances for the club according to data courtesy of FotMob.
However, amid Osimhen’s impressive run of form, the Nigerian striker recently took to the media to make a promise to fans of Galatasaray.
Osimhen makes promise to Galatasaray fans
Speaking to the media outlet Parçalı Sportz after the fixture against AZ Alkmaar, the 25-year-old shared a message about one of his personal goals for the club. “I said I would score a goal, and I did. I promise you one more thing: I will bring the UEFA Cup to Turkey,” Osimhen declared.
Having quickly become a fan favourite at Galatasaray, Osimhen would see his cult hero status soar to new heights if he manages to deliver on this promise.
It’s worth remembering that Galatasaray last won the UEFA Europa League title in the 1999/00 season, defeating Arsenal in a penalty shootout at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen.
These words from the Nigerian striker also subtly reaffirm his intention to stay at Galatasaray beyond the winter transfer window, despite growing interest from Premier League side Chelsea.
