Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has urged his teammates to raise their performance levels after the Turkish champions were held to a 2-2 draw by Çorum in their opening Turkish Super Lig fixture.
Osimhen was Galatasaray’s key attacking outlet, scoring both goals as the defending champions dropped points at home.
Speaking to beIN Sports after the match, the Nigeria international acknowledged the demands of the season ahead, particularly with Galatasaray also preparing for another UEFA Champions League campaign.
“It’s going to be a tough season. The team is well aware of that. We need to work very hard,” Osimhen said.
“We need to give our all on the pitch. The fans are always behind us. We need to gain momentum before the Champions League. Our fighting spirit must increase.”
The draw leaves Galatasaray searching for their first league victory of the new campaign, despite Osimhen’s two-goal contribution.
The 26-year-old has also been linked with a move away from the club, with Arsenal and Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal reportedly interested in securing his services.
For now, however, Osimhen remains focused on Galatasaray’s campaign as the club prepares for its next league fixture away to Erzurumspor on Friday, August 21.
