Unarguably Nigeria’s biggest star in Europe club competitions, Osimhen will be expected to bring his A-game for Galatasaray against the Greeks tonight at RAMS Park in Istanbul.
Unfazed by the protracted summer transfer saga, the 25-year-old has hit the ground running at Galatasaray following his season-long loan arrival from Napoli earlier this month, providing two assists in as many Turkish Super Lig games that ended in victories, including the weekend’s Istanbul derby 3-1 defeat of Fenernabche, where he delivered a sumptuous chested assist for former Napoli teammate Diers Martens for their second goal.
The Nigeria striker boasts European football experience with Napoli and will, as usual, prove a handful for opposing defenders.
