Former Beşiktaş striker Batuhan Karadeniz has described Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen as an unstoppable force in the Turkish Super Lig, claiming the Nigerian has become a nightmare for defenders since joining Galatasaray.
Osimhen arrived at the Istanbul giants on a season-long loan from Napoli during the summer transfer window and has wasted little time making his presence felt in Turkish football.
Softfootball understands that the Nigerian striker’s latest goal came in Galatasaray’s 2-1 victory over Beşiktaş on Monday, taking his tally to four league goals this season.
Karadeniz was full of praise for the 25-year-old, highlighting his incredible work rate, athleticism, and ability to influence every area of the pitch.
The former Turkish striker jokingly suggested that Osimhen should be “banned” from the Super Lig because of the unfair advantage he gives Galatasaray over other teams.
He marvelled at Osimhen’s ability to defend set-pieces inside his own penalty area before immediately sprinting forward to lead counter-attacks and create scoring opportunities at the other end of the pitch.
Karadeniz admitted he had rarely seen a striker capable of contributing so effectively in both defensive and attacking situations, describing the Nigerian’s all-round game as extraordinary.
Osimhen has quickly become a fan favourite at Galatasaray with his relentless energy, aerial dominance, and clinical finishing, helping the Turkish champions maintain their impressive start to the season.
His performances have further strengthened his reputation as one of Africa’s top strikers and continue to underline why he remains one of the most feared forwards in European football.
