Osimhen Moves to Third on Galatasaray's Scorers List
Victor Osimhen scored two goals for Galatasaray in their 4-0 win against Erzurum FK on Friday night, elevating his total to 62 goals in 76 appearances for the club. This performance allowed him to surpass former Czech Republic international Milan Baros, who scored 61 goals during his tenure with Galatasaray.
Osimhen, who is 27 years old, has also provided 16 assists since joining the Turkish champions. Currently, only Mauro Icardi, with 77 goals, and Gheorghe Hagi, with 72 goals, rank ahead of Osimhen on the club's all-time foreign scorers list.
His two goals against Erzurum FK marked at least four goals in Galatasaray's opening two matches of the Süper Lig season, making him the first player to achieve this since Brazilian striker Mario Jardel in the 2000/01 season. This milestone underscores Osimhen's growing significance at Galatasaray.
