Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk has commended Victor Osimhen’s influence, noting that the striker improves the performance of his teammates.
Osimhen was restored to the starting lineup for the Yellow and Reds on Sunday against Fenerbahçe after recovering from an injury he picked up last month. The Nigerian forward made an instant impression, scoring the opening goal in a dominant 3-0 victory at RAMS Park.
He almost grabbed a second early in the second half, but the goal was disallowed for offside.
