Former Fenerbahçe goalkeeper Volkan Demirel has hailed Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as the greatest footballer to have ever featured in the Turkish League.
Demirel made the remark following Osimhen’s outstanding goal-scoring exploits for Galatasaray.
In his debut season, the Nigerian forward played a crucial role in helping the club secure both the Turkish Süper Lig title and the Turkish Cup.
Osimhen ended that campaign as the league’s top scorer, netting 26 goals in 30 matches. So far this season, he has scored three goals in seven appearances for Galatasaray.
Taking to his official X handle, Demirel reiterated his admiration for the Nigerian star, saying: “Victor Osimhen is the best footballer to ever come to the Süper Lig. I said this on the first day he arrived, and I’m saying the same thing again.”
