Victor Osimhen Named Greatest Striker in Turkish League
Victor Osimhen has been declared the greatest striker in the history of the Turkish Super Lig by respected commentator Volkan Demirel. This assessment came during an interview with Sami Yen Gündem following Galatasaray's 4-1 Champions League loss to Barcelona.
Demirel's remarks highlight Osimhen's superiority over notable foreign strikers like Nicolas Anelka and Bafétimbi Gomis. Osimhen joined Galatasaray on loan from Napoli in September 2024, with a permanent transfer finalized for €75 million in July 2025.
His tenure in Istanbul has been marked by individual achievements, including winning back-to-back Süper Lig titles in the 2024-25 and 2025-26 seasons. He played a crucial role in securing Galatasaray's 26th league title in May 2026 and helped the team win the Turkish Cup in the 2024-25 season.
Osimhen also won the Süper Lig Golden Boot with 26 goals and was named Galatasaray Player of the Season for 2024-25 and Turkish Footballer of the Year in 2025.
