Gala to make Osimhen captain

Victor Osimhen

Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen could be announced as the new captain of Turkish Super Lig club and Istanbul giants, Galatasaray.

Quoting Turkish football pudit, Ali Naci Küçük: “Galatasaray wants to give the captain’s armband to Victor Osimhen if they don’t continue with Mauro Icardi.”

Osimhen delivered a phenomenal tenure at Galatasaray, becoming a defining figure in their recent domestic dominance. Since arriving, the Nigerian striker has broken records, played a massive part in back-to-back Turkish Süper Lig championships, secured a Turkish Cup, and tallied over 35 goals in multiple consecutive seasons.

Meanwhile, Osimhen and his Galatasaray teammates have paid a courtesy visit to Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan after their 26th League title win. It is Osimhen’s 2nd visit following the back to back title success.
