Super Eagles victor Osimhen continues to enjoy critical acclaim in Turkey.
Victor Osimhen's presence in Turkey continues to stun media personalities as his quality is markedly higher than the rest of the league.
Hence, he is usually the subject of high praise from individuals in the Turkish sports media space, with the latest coming from Serhat Ulueren, a football analyst.
For Ulueren, the Nigerian is the best striker in the Turkish Super Lig, and Galatasaray should pull all the stops to land him, as he is more reliable than Mauro Icardi.
What Ulueren said
Speaking on the Telegoal program after Osimhen won and scored a penalty to help Galatasaray beat Konyaspor, Ulueren sang the Nigerian's praises, highlighting his physical attributes.
"No matter what anyone says, Osimhen is the best striker in this league," he said, per GsGazette. "His star is shining. No other player could have run and taken that penalty in that penalty position. Not Icardi, not Batshuayi, not anyone else.
"The man has long legs; he is very athletic. He has no long-term injuries. If Galatasaray has the money, let them buy it. Otherwise, you can't go down into the well with this Icardi rope."
Icardi, who led the Cim-Bom to the Super Lig title last season with his 25 league goals is currently out injured after hurting his ACL. Osimhen is leading the charge for Galatasaray's title defence, and he is not far off course matching Icardi's goal tally from last season.
