Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk has praised Victor Osimhen for the impact he’s had at the club since arriving on a season-long loan from Napoli.
The Nigeria international has scored nine goals and provided five assists in just 12 appearances across all competitions for the Turkish champions.
Softfootball gathers that Buruk, speaking to Skorer, believes Osimhen’s value goes far beyond the numbers on the scoresheet.
He said:
Osimhen works hard, scores, assists. He is in great form, doing very well. He makes important scoring contributions both in Turkey and Europe.
Buruk also highlighted the striker’s team-first mentality as one of his biggest strengths, telling Skorer:
His first characteristic is that he plays for the team, more than goals and assists. He makes an effort for the team.
When we display this mentality as a team, no one can stand in front of Galatasaray.
With Osimhen continuing to deliver on both fronts, Galatasaray will be hoping his form holds up as they push for more silverware this season.
