•Gala president yells
Galatasaray president Dursun Özbek has insisted that Victor Osimhen will not be sold, despite growing interest in the Nigerian striker from Arsenal and Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
Osimhen has emerged as a major transfer target for Arsenal, with the Premier League club discussing his availability with Galatasaray during talks between the two clubs.
The discussions have reportedly also involved Arsenal forwards Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri.
Al-Hilal have also been linked with a move for the former Napoli forward, with reports claiming that the Saudi club previously made a significant offer for the striker.
Galatasaray have maintained their determination to keep Osimhen despite the interest from abroad.

With speculation surrounding the 27-year-old’s future continuing to grow, Özbek has now made the club’s position clear.
Speaking to 343 Digital, the Galatasaray president explained that the club would not accept a proposal that could negatively affect its interests before specifically addressing Osimhen’s situation.
“I will not say ‘yes’ to any deal that would harm Galatasaray or not benefit Galatasaray. What I said about Barış Alper Yılmaz, I am now saying even more strongly about Osimhen. No matter how much the price is, I am not selling Osimhen,” he said as quoted by Habersarikirmizi.
The statement represents another firm indication that Galatasaray have no intention of allowing Osimhen to leave during the current transfer window, regardless of the level of interest from potential suitors.
