Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen, currently on loan from Napoli, has set his sights on helping Galatasaray secure the UEFA Europa League title.
The reigning African Player of the Year showcased his brilliance once again on Thursday night, scoring a stunning goal in Galatasaray’s 1-1 draw with AZ Alkmaar.
Osimhen’s goal-scoring prowess has been instrumental for the Turkish giants, with the forward netting three goals in his last two appearances in the competition. After the game, the 24-year-old made a bold declaration to fans and the footballing world alike:
“I said I would score a goal, and I did. I make another promise: I will bring the UEFA cup to Turkey,” Osimhen confidently stated.
Reflecting on the team’s overall performance against the Dutch side, Osimhen acknowledged the challenges faced but praised the collective effort.
“It feels good to score a goal. We left with one point, and we will continue. We may be a little tired mentally, as we had a match just four days ago. But despite that, our team’s performance was good, and we remain unbeaten in Europe,” he added.
Osimhen’s confidence and determination have undoubtedly made him a standout player in the Europa League this season. His remarkable performances are driving Galatasaray’s ambitions as they aim to cement their place among Europe’s elite.
