Previously without a win in their qualifying campaign, the Super Eagles had picked up only three points in four matches.
The Galatasaray loanee has scored 26 goals in 30 appearances for the Turkish club since leaving Napoli last September.
However, Osimhen has long expressed his desire to play in the English Premier League, and Troost-Ekong believes the time is right for him to make the move this summer.
Osimhen’s blistering form has continued to attract attention from top European clubs, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain reportedly eyeing a summer move for the prolific striker.
The 25-year-old striker also expressed confidence in Chelle’s leadership and emphasized the need for players to take responsibility.
The Super Eagles will be aiming to turn their qualifying campaign around, and all eyes will be on Chelle’s first competitive matches in charge.
The forward has now registered 22 goals and five assists in 29 appearances across all competitions this season, further cementing his status as a key player for Okan Buruk’s side.
With Osimhen leading the attack, they will be desperate to claim maximum points and reignite their qualification hopes.
Though the draw keeps Galatasaray’s lead intact, Fenerbahçe will feel they missed an opportunity to close the gap in the title race.
However, facing a suspension from the first team, Osimhen forced a move on loan to Turkey with Galatasaray until the end of the season.
