Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has set a record at Galatasaray with his goal against Beşiktaş.
Osimhen has made a remarkable start to his time at Galatasaray, breaking a record that had stood for 10 years at the club.
The 25-year-old striker has seamlessly integrated into Okan Buruk’s squad, and despite a brief injury that kept him out of a few games, no other player in the team has scored more goals than him in the Super Lig.
The Nigerian striker has demonstrated exceptional all-round play, contributing two assists this season, with only Brazilian midfielder Gabriel Sara surpassing him in goal contributions.
He secured the decisive goal in a 2-1 victory against Besiktas, reinforcing Galatasaray’s position at the top of the league.
His 67th-minute header against the Black Eagles elevated his league contributions to six, comprising four goals and two assists in just five matches.
The former Lille forward became the first Galatasaray player to reach such a tally in as few as five fixtures since Bafetimbi Gomis accomplished this during the 2014-15 season.
