My First Galatasaray Goal Is Close- Osimhen

Victor Osimhen says he is close to scoring his maiden goal for Turkish Super Lig champions, Galatasaray.

Osimhen is yet to open his goal account since linking up with the Yellow and Reds from Napoli on a season- long loan deal.

The 25-year-old was close to hitting target in Galatasaray’s UEFA Europa League clash with PAOK but his header was diverted into the net by Ghana international Baba Rahman.

“Unfortunately, it was an own goal again. I feel it, my goal is very close. The most important thing is for Galatasaray to win,” he told the club’s official website.

” I would also like to thank the fans. We need to continue winning in the league and in Europe.”

Osimhen also said that he gets along well with his teammates in the same position.

“We have a very good relationship with Mauro Icardi. He is also a leader. Michy Batshuayi is a very good character,” he added.

” I am very happy to be at Galatasaray. We help each other as a team. If I am not there, they are there. We will continue to win as a team.”
