Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has described Victor Osimhen as a “dream” signing after the Nigeria striker delivered one of the most prolific seasons in the Turkish club’s recent history, even as Chelsea emerge as suitors for his signature this summer, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Osimhen scored 22 goals across all competitions, including 15 in just 20 league appearances, and contributed a vital brace as Galatasaray clinched the Süper Lig title with a 4-2 win over Antalyaspor. Buruk said the forward’s contribution went far beyond goals.
“Victor is a team player, not just a striker who scores goals. He was a dream for Galatasaray. We paid €75 million. It’s the first time a Turkish team has paid such a price. It’s a record, and we spent all our money on him,” Buruk said.
“Osimhen works hard, scores, and assists. He plays for the team, not just for goals and assists. When we all play with this mentality, no one can stop us.” Related News Kanu celebrates Arsenal title win Turkey president hosts Osimhen, Gala teammates Awoniyi reflects on historic Forest goals
