Known for his clinical finishing, physicality, and ability to thrive under pressure, Osimhen is seen by many as the ideal solution to Chelsea’s woes in front of goal.
According to Transfermarkt, Osimhen has scored 13 goals and created six assists in all competitions to emerge as Galatasaray’s top scorer this season.
