Osimhen Scores 4 Goals in 2 Games as Galatasaray Season Opens
Victor Osimhen has netted four times in Galatasaray's first two Turkish Süper Lig matches, accounting for two-thirds of his team's goals.
Nigeria's Victor Osimhen has begun the 2026/27 Turkish Süper Lig season in prolific form, scoring four goals across Galatasaray's opening two league fixtures. The striker's early-season haul represents a commanding contribution to his club's attacking output and continues his trajectory as one of Europe's most consistent finishers.
Osimhen's goals came across two matches with contrasting results. In Galatasaray's first outing against newly promoted Çorum FK, the forward scored twice in a 2-2 draw.
He then added another two goals in the following game, a 4-0 victory over Erzurumspor FK. According to one report, Osimhen also provided an assist during the Erzurumspor match, demonstrating involvement beyond pure goal-scoring.
The four-goal tally accounts for approximately two-thirds of Galatasaray's six goals through two matches, underscoring Osimhen's central role in the defending champions' attacking play. His scoring form has drawn fresh attention from European clubs, with one report indicating Arsenal has initiated early-stage discussions regarding a potential transfer.
Osimhen's performance in Turkey has maintained the form that has defined his spell at Galatasaray since his arrival from Napoli. The Super Eagles international continues to be a focal point of the club's offensive setup as the season progresses.
