Victor Osimhen has been crowned the 2025 GQ Türkiye Sportsman of the Year after a historic season with Galatasaray.

The Nigerian striker scored 37 goals last season and broke Turkey’s transfer record in the summer Osimhen thanked GQ, Galatasaray, and fans worldwide, saying the award means so much to him and his family.

The Super Eagles and Galatasaray striker was crowned Sportsman of the Year at the 2025 GQ Türkiye Men of the Year Awards, held at a packed black-tie gala in Istanbul.

The award did not come as a shock, as Osimhen’s first year in Turkey produced the kind of numbers that shift expectations around a club. He scored 37 goals and assisted seven more in 41 games, driving Galatasaray to both the Super Lig title and the Turkish Cup, as seen on Transfermarkt.
