Mustafa Denizli, a Turkish pundit, emphasised Victor Osimhen’s enormous impact on Galatasaray and the Turkish Super Lig.
The Nigerian international is currently recovering from surgery for an injury sustained during the first half of Galatasaray’s UEFA Champions League match against Liverpool at Anfield last month.
Galatasaray has struggled to maintain consistency since Osimhen’s absence, failing to win two of their past three games and earning only four points out of a potential nine.
Although they remain at the top of the table, their lead has diminished, with Fenerbahce now trailing by just two points and Trabzonspor still within reach.

With five matches remaining, the pressure is intensifying on the reigning champions.
Denizli noted that Osimhen’s significance goes beyond his individual contributions, characterising him as a player who elevates the performance of his teammates.
In statements reported by Habersarikirmizi, he said, “Osimhen is a crucial player not only for Galatasaray but for the entire league. We cannot attribute this solely to his personal performance.
“Osimhen’s absence is a factor that negatively affects those playing around him, to his right, left, and behind him.”
Galatasaray’s medical staff is working hard to get Osimhen back to full fitness in time for the potentially title-deciding encounter against Fenerbahce on April 26, 2026.
