Former Super Eagles and Galatasaray midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo has praised Victor Osimhen for his outstanding performances in Turkey, backing the striker to achieve even greater heights in his career.
Since joining Galatasaray last year, Osimhen has wasted no time making his mark. The 26-year-oldhas been in electrifying form, scoring 17 goals and providing five assists in 22 appearances across all competitions.
His dominance in the Super Lig has cemented him as Galatasaray’s talisman, drawing widespread attention from fans and pundits.
After an injury-ridden season with Napoli, the 2023 African Footballer of the Year has reminded the world of his elite goal-scoring prowess.
His arrival has also boosted the profile of the Turkish Super Lig, with his performances generating significant interest.
“Osimhen is One of the Best Strikers in the World”
Etebo, who has played in La Liga, the Premier League, and the Super Lig, believes Victor Osimhen will continue to excel and break new ground.
Speaking to Milliyet, the 45-time Super Eagles international had nothing but praise for the striker:
“I think the football community also accepts this. I think he did a good thing by coming to Galatasaray.”
“He is a very willing player on the field, who gives everything for his team. He continues to score goals.”
“I think he will continue to score goals. I think he will do very successful things in his future career.”
Etebo, now playing for Turkish second-division side Genclerbirligi, knows what it takes to succeed at the top level. His endorsement of Osimhen reflects the striker’s growing reputation as one of Europe’s most lethal forwards.
Osimhen’s stellar form has naturally attracted interest from top European clubs. With his loan deal at Galatasaray set to expire in the summer, speculation is already mounting over his next move.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with the Nigerian forward, while Juventus recently attempted to negotiate with Napoli for his services but were unsuccessful.
Given his current form, Victor Osimhen is likely to be one of the most sought-after strikers in the summer transfer window, making his next career step a hot topic in the months ahead.
