. Premier League scouts take notes on Nigerian
. Equals Okan Buruk’s 43-goal tally
Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen reached 50 goal contributions in his 50th match for Galatasaray on Sunday.
The Nigerian super star scored Galatasaray’s equalizing goal against Göztepe, as the Istanbul giants ended up winning 3-1 at the Rams Park Stadium.
Osimhen has scored 43 goals and provided seven assists in all competitions for the Istanbul giants.
Meanwhile, Premier League teams have begun to closely monitor Osimhen and his three other teammates Singo, Barış Alper, and Yunus Akgün.
According to Yakup Çınar, “Three English clubs sent scouts to the Galatasaray-Göztepe match and notes on the players were taken.”
With 43 goals in 50 appearances, Osimhen is the 7th-highest foreign scorer in Galatasaray’s history. He has also surpassed Jardel (0.79) in goals per game (0.86) to take the top spot.
Meanwhile, Osimhen has equalled the goal tally of Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk as the Turkish giant beat Goztepe 3-1.
Buruk, a club legend during his playing days, scored 43 goals in 306 appearances for Galatasaray.
Osimhen holds the record as the fastest Galatasaray goalscorer in UEFA Champions League history, following his early strike against Bodo/Glimt.
