Former Nigerian international Emmanuel Amuneke has praised Victor Osimhen for deciding to remain at Galatasaray during the January transfer window.
The Super Eagles striker joined the Turkish giants on loan from Napoli last summer and has since become a pivotal figure in their attack. Softfootball reports that Amuneke believes the move was crucial for his career revival.
Amuneke highlighted that Osimhen has been warmly welcomed in Turkey, allowing him to regain his confidence and full potential after a difficult period in Italy.
He emphasized that staying put rather than rushing into another transfer demonstrates maturity and a desire to repay the faith shown in him by the club and its supporters.
He explained his support by stating:
I think he made the right decision to stay at Galatasaray during the winter transfer window and not rush into transfers, despite multiple interests. He has been massively welcomed and appreciated in Turkey, and it is only important that he thanks them with gratitude.
The former Barcelona winger noted that this stability has allowed Osimhen to flourish, turning his loan spell into a highly successful chapter. His continued form in Turkey remains vital for both his club ambitions and his role as a key striker for the Nigerian national team.
