Former Besiktas star Sinan Engin has highlighted Victor Osimhen’s enormous influence at Galatasaray by suggesting that the Turkish club struggles whenever the Nigerian striker fails to deliver.
Osimhen has quickly established himself as one of Galatasaray’s most important attacking players since moving to the Turkish club. His goals, physical strength and relentless movement have made him a constant threat to opposition defences.
Softfootball reports that Engin believes Galatasaray’s dependence on the Super Eagles striker has become increasingly obvious during the campaign.
The Nigerian forward has regularly been involved in decisive moments and has helped Galatasaray compete strongly in domestic football. His ability to occupy defenders and create scoring opportunities has also benefited teammates around him.
Engin’s assessment reflects the importance Osimhen has gained within the team. When the striker is performing at his best, Galatasaray possess a major attacking weapon capable of changing matches.
The Nigerian international’s future remains a major talking point in European football, particularly because of the interest surrounding his next permanent move.
For now, Galatasaray will be focused on maximising his contribution as they continue their campaign and chase their objectives.
