Victor Osimhen on the Verge of Scoring First Goal for Galatasaray

Victor Osimhen is buzzing with confidence that his first goal for Galatasaray is just around the corner, after providing yet another assist in the Turkish giants’ 3-1 win over PAOK FC in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday night, BrainBurst reports.

The reigning African Player of the Year has been in scintillating form, assisting in his third consecutive match, having done so in league games against Rizepor and fierce rivals Fenerbahce. Despite not netting a goal yet, Osimhen is delighted with his contributions so far.

“I feel it, my goal is very close. Most importantly, Galatasaray won. I also thank the fans. We need to keep winning in the league and in Europe,” the Nigerian forward told the club website.

Osimhen, on loan from Napoli, is pleased with his impact and praised PAOK FC for their resilience. “It is important for me to come into the team where they are full of quality to try and help, and of course I’m still looking forward to having my first goal, but of course my contribution so far to the team has been helpful and decisive,” he added.

“And on today’s game, a big respect to PAOK, for their resilience, they gave us a tough time but I think we deserved this win and I’m happy we got it,” Osimhen continued.

Osimhen also spoke about his relationship with other forwards in the team, including Mauro Icardi and Michy Batshuayi. “We have a very good relationship with Mauro Icardi. He is also a leader. Michy Batshuayi is a great character. I am very happy to be in Galatasaray. We help as a team. If I am not, they are. We will continue to win as a team,” he stated.

The former Lille forward will hope his first goal will come when Galatasaray host Kasimpasa in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday evening.
