Galatasaray Coach Compares Osimhen to Mbappé, Kane

Okan Buruk, the current coach of Galatasaray, has drawn comparisons between Victor Osimhen and elite strikers Kylian Mbappé of Real Madrid and Harry Kane of Bayern Munich, highlighting Osimhen's critical role in the team's title aspirations. Despite suffering an arm injury, Osimhen returned to training on Wednesday as the club prepares for a Super Lig clash against Gençlerbirliği.

Buruk acknowledged the importance of Osimhen, stating that the team requires strong players to compete at high levels. He expressed confidence in winning the championship, despite recent setbacks that saw the team drop five points over three matches.

Osimhen, who joined Galatasaray on a permanent deal worth €75 million last summer, has made a significant impact with 12 goals and four assists in 19 league appearances. He is currently expected to undergo a late fitness test to determine his involvement against Gençlerbirliği, but is anticipated to be fully ready for the derby against Fenerbahçe next Sunday.
