Former Turkey international goalkeeper Volkan Demirel has described Victor Osimhen as the best footballer to have ever played in the Turkish Super Lig.
Softfootball understands that Demirel’s glowing assessment follows the Nigerian striker’s impressive performances during his time with Galatasaray.
Osimhen has quickly become one of the most influential players in Turkish football, producing important goals and consistently causing problems for opposing defences.
His pace, strength, movement and finishing ability have made him a major threat, while his performances in important matches have further enhanced his reputation.
Demirel believes the Nigeria international has already made an impact that puts him above other notable players who have featured in the Turkish top flight.
Osimhen’s performances have also strengthened calls for Galatasaray to secure his permanent transfer.
The striker remains one of the most sought-after forwards in Europe, meaning competition for his signature is expected to remain intense.
However, his success in Turkey has demonstrated that he can thrive in a different football environment.
Galatasaray supporters will hope the club can keep the forward as they look to build an even stronger squad for domestic and European competition.
