Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen will make his debut for Galatasaray on Saturday (today) when they host Caykur Rizespor at RAMS PARK in Istanbul.

Osimhen joined the Turkish Super Lig champions on a season-long contract from Napoli two weeks ago.

The 25-year-old trained with his Galatasaray colleagues for the first time on Thursday since returning from international duty.

The forward scored in Nigeria’s 3-0 win over Benin Republic last Saturday.

Osimhen will be eager to get started at his new club and cement his reputation as one of the world’s top strikers.

Galatasaray is presently ranked second in the Super Lig table, with nine points after three games.

In contrast, Rizespor is in 12th place with four points after four matches.
