Victor Osimhen is back on the scoresheet for Galatasaray, finding the net late in their emphatic 4-0 win over Kayserispor on matchday three – www.naijnaira.com reports.
According to habersarikirmizi.com, the Nigerian striker struck in the 86th minute, a goal that sparked an eruption of joy among the traveling fans who had been waiting for his breakthrough.
The €75 million signing from Napoli made headlines last month as his move smashed the Turkish Süper Lig transfer record.
His second debut ended without a goal against Fatih Karagümrük, but the Kayserispor strike marked his official return to scoring ways in Istanbul.
Osimhen already had a successful loan stint with Galatasaray, where he hit 37 goals and eight assists, helping the team claim a league and cup double.
Former Fenerbahce goalkeeper Volkan Demirel reacted with humor, saying, “Thank God Osimhen scored. If he hadn’t, there would have been chaos. He’s finally giving everyone a breather.”
The legendary shot-stopper added that Osimhen’s determination has been evident, even joking about how rivals reacted to him last week.
Galatasaray will rely on the forward again this weekend against Rizespor before he joins Nigeria’s squad for a World Cup qualifier against Rwanda.
