Victor Osimhen is tearing it up in the Turkish Super League, and a defender named him one of the best strikers in the league after their encounter.
Osimhen joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli after he failed to secure a permanent move before the transfer deadline day and was frozen out of the squad.

He has started brightly at the RAMS Park with 15 goal contributions in 14 games, as noted by Transfermarkt, and this has prompted the Turkish champions to want to sign him permanently.

Samsunspor defender Ricky van Drongelen has shared his thoughts on the top three strikers in the Turkish Super League and picked the Nigerian as the best among them.
“I respect all strikers. They are all very high-quality players,” he told Fanatik about approaching each striker uniquely.
“How much each player challenges me depends on the match. Your performance can also vary from match to match. How you defend as a team is also very important. In some matches, you can defend in very narrow areas.”
The Dutch defender was asked to choose between the top forwards in the league: Osimhen, Ciro Immobile and Edin Dzeko.
“In my opinion, Victor Osimhen is the most dangerous striker in the Super Lig,” he said. “Everyone sees and understands this. That is why the big teams in Europe are following him.”
The Istanbul-based club have been moving to sign Osimhen permanently but face competition from top European clubs who attempted to sign him in the summer, including Paris Saint-Germain.
