Super Eagles star, Victor Osimhen has set a record with Galatasaray with his goal against Besiktas.
Victor Osimhen has had an explosive start to life at Galatasaray. His performance level is underscored by notching a new 10-year record at the club.
The 25-year-old striker has seamlessly integrated into Okan Buruk’s side, and despite a brief injury spell which kept him out for a couple of games, no other player in the team has scored more goals than him in the Super Lig.
The Nigerian’s all-round play has also been impressive, and he has notched two assists this season already. Only Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Sara has registered more goal contributions than the Nigerian.
He scored the winning goal last time out in the 2-1 victory over Besiktas, which helped strengthen Galatasaray’s hold on first position. Other than the team achievement of the goal, Osimhen also set a record.
The striker’s 67th-minute header against the Black Eagles took his goal contributions for the league season to six (four goals, two assists) in only five games.
The former Lille man became the first Galatasaray player to reach that tally as quickly as five games in a season since Bafetimbi Gomis achieved the feat in the 2014-15 season.
