Victor Osimhen Arrives in Nigeria, Showcases ₦800m Ferrari
Victor Osimhen, the 27-year-old striker for Galatasaray, arrived in Nigeria on September 22, 2026, aboard a private jet. He was initially named in coach Eric Chelle's 24-man squad for the upcoming 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers but was ruled out due to a groin injury sustained in a match against Istanbul Basaksehir.
The Nigeria Football Federation subsequently called up Taiwo Awoniyi from Coventry City as his replacement. Despite his injury, Osimhen chose to return to Nigeria rather than stay in Turkey.
Upon arrival, he was seen driving a red Ferrari 296 GTB valued at approximately ₦800 million, which drew significant attention from onlookers. Osimhen's decision to return reflects his ongoing connection with the national team.
He has previously been recognized as one of the most prominent African footballers, having earned his reputation at Napoli before joining Galatasaray.
