Former Super Eagles forward Obinna Nsofor has urged Victor Osimhen to leave Galatasaray this summer, insisting that a move to a club capable of challenging for the UEFA Champions League is the only thing standing between the Nigerian striker and a place among Europe’s elite.
Nsofor, who represented Nigeria at the 2008 Beijing Olympics where the Super Eagles won silver, made his position clear while acknowledging the Turkish giants’ status as a major club.
“Victor Osimhen has done enough at Galatasaray. If he truly wants to become the best striker in the world, then he must move to a club that can compete seriously for the UEFA Champions League. Right now, the only thing separating him from the very top is winning at the highest level in Europe,” Nsofor said on Brila in quotes shared on X on Thursday.
“Galatasaray is a big club, nobody can deny that, but when you talk about clubs expected to win the UEFA Champions League, they are not among the favourites. Osimhen is already at the level where he should be competing with the very best strikers every single season.”
